Jacob Ballas Children's Garden

The garden has been segmented into four new zones to witness the first-hand ecology of plants through nature play and learn about various ecosystems. 

Farm Zone
The farm zone has a well-grown, neatly labelled vegetable plot. The garden in the farm zone has different fruits and leafy vegetables for the children to explore and learn. This place is excellent for children to learn that fruits and vegetables don't grow in supermarkets. They are shown diagrams of where food comes from and how it is transported to our homes. The children also get to learn how to grow their own food and reduce food waste by generating compost.

Forest Zone
The Forest Zone enables children to learn about forests and their inhabitants. The centre of attraction here is the Flying Fox, which immediately draws kids towards it. This area has timber logs strategically placed in an area leading to the rope bridge. This is aimed at improving balance and psychomotor skills in children. It also has a small sandpit with a nest swing to let the children experience nestle and sway like baby birds.
This zone is special for its inclusive play equipment for children with special needs. It also has a wheelchair trampoline where kids with wheelchairs enjoy the fun they deserve. Metal cajons are placed to encourage percussion play. This helps children on the autism spectrum to focus through the repetitive nature of learning a tune.

Stream Zone
The stream zone is an area where children can spot plant and animal species that make their home in the stream with clever adaptations. The plants found along the stream are the Putat - that also resides in swampy forests, the Simpoh Air - a shrub with large leaves and flowers that grow across forest edges, and marshlands.

Orchard Zone
The Orchard Zone has a deck neatly set aside to exhibit how popular beverages come from cocoa, tea and coffee plants. The kids can head on the board atop the overhead bridge to enjoy the canopy of trees closely, including the tree with fake mangosteens.
