Tengah HDB playgrounds

Tengah might’ve been called ulu in the past, but the up-and-coming neighbourhood is already shaping up to be a pretty promising one. First, there was the completion of its 5-storey shopping centre, Plantation Plaza, and now, residents have found that there are a total of 11 ultra-cute HDB playgrounds scattered around, all within walking distance of each other.
