Since I
moved to Jurong East 20 years ago, I have enjoyed swimming at Jurong East
Swimming Complex with my family every Sunday.
Weekends,
many children thronged the swimming complex, and the kids’ water playing at the
kiddy pool is a hot favourite with all the toddlers and young children.
It has been
a while since I last visited, but I was shocked that the water feature at kiddy
pool has been totally removed. There
used to be some sort of children’s water playground in that particular kiddy
pool but now it is just an empty pool. I
understand that renovations works on the water playground have been going on
for years, and it was upgraded only 1 year ago.
To my
shock, it was empty when I paid a visit on 6 July 2018.
Being the first
one-stop integrated centre with many fun facilities water features including a
lazy river, and wave pool and 3 slides I am particularly disappointed that the
kids' playground in the kiddy pool is no longer there and there is no
replacement for a new water feature.
I hope
public funds have been dutifully utilized allocated. I believed the renovations
works have been budgeted much earlier on as replacement for the water
playground should be in the works instead of removing this fun loving feature
totally.
I urged the
authorities to look into this and explain why no new water feature has been installed. Instead in its place stands bare with a just a kiddy pool.
