It goes without saying that Wild Wild Wet and Adventure Cove are every child’s idea of fun. So if you’re a parent to little ones and are looking to make a move, you might want to add High Park Residences to your list of potential homes as the condo is packed with amenities for the whole family to enjoy.
This condo is “elite” for its range of facilities including a boxing ring, jamming studio and kid-friendly amenities such as a fitness deck and flying fox; but what we really want to zoom in on are its water amenities.
The condo has multiple options from a 50M lap pool to an aqua gym and even has short slides connecting to several other smaller pools in the area. On top of that, a big splash can be expected when you whizz down the massive 3M water slide.

Not to mention, plastered right in the centre are semi-submerged sunbeds and a cold pool with pressure jets to keep you refreshed on a hot day. And that’s not all – you can also enjoy a dip into the hot bubble spa that’s located right in the middle.

With annual vacations at a halt, many of us are yearning for something other than trips to Sentosa’s beaches. At The Jovell, beach bums can vicariously enjoy a coastal experience at their swimming pool, which looks just like a white sandy beach at first glance.
The pool’s sloped design also makes it easy for you to gently wade in – along with the crystal clear waters, hammocks and surrounding palm trees, this will give you the ultimate beach day feels.
Spanning almost half a football field, the pool is a great place to clock in some laps or just chill with your friends.
