The weekend’s finally here, and the whole family – including your furbabies – wants to hang out. The only problem? Most places are either pet-friendly, kid-friendly, or adult-friendly, which usually means someone’s left out. Well, you and the fam won’t have to worry about that at Jurong Play Grounds, a lifestyle hub with amenities for kids, adults, and your furry companions.
Spanning a whopping 32,980sqm – roughly the size of 6 or 7 football fields – there’s plenty to explore at Jurong Play Grounds, where the fun revolves around 3 main themes: Eat, Play, and Grow. Naturally, that means a wide array of highlights to check out, which we’ll cover as we go along.

A 1.5-hour session starts from $34.56 and includes free entry for 2 human guests.

If it starts raining in the first 30 minutes of your session – or if it was already pouring when you arrived – you’ll be able to reschedule for another day at no extra charge.

There are plenty of pickleball courts in Singapore, but not so many places to get your pedal fix.

Court rental rates are affordable, starting from $30/hour on a singles court. Padel racket and ball rentals are also available at $5/padel and $13/3-ball can.
Straits Pickle Club, slated to be Singapore’s largest pickleball facility with 10 shaded courts, is also set to open soon.
It’s not just the pups who get to take a dip – Happy Fish Swim School (#01-05) offers both group and private swimming lessons for kids from 4 months old up to 13 years of age. Their indoor heated pools keep little swimmers comfortable, while expert coaches guide them every step of the way. Fees start from $198.93 for 5 weekday group lessons and $436 for 4 private lessons.

World Farm & Hua Hng (#01-01) is the anchor tenant at Jurong Play Grounds, boasting a sprawling garden centre filled with lush greenery. You’ll find everything you need here to build your very own mini garden back home, and that includes gardening accessories and plant care products.
Football lovers can soon have a kickabout at Smashing Futsal, a new futsal court in Jurong Play Grounds, with rates starting from $14/hour during off-peak hours and $25/hour during peak hours.
And if Singpadel happens to be too crowded, head over to Straits Pickle Club, Singapore’s upcoming and largest outdoor pickleball facility. Both of these venues are undergoing some final touch-ups and will open to the public sometime in September 2025.

Hop on the MRT and alight at Jurong East MRT Station on the East-West Line. Take Exit A and go on an 8-minute walk to reach Jurong Play Grounds. It is located right across IMM, so look out for that to check if you’re on the right track. If you’re driving, IMM also makes for a handy backup parking spot in case the centre’s spaces are full.
So, the next time your family is about to enter a squabble over where to hang out, look no further than Jurong Play Grounds. With amenities and activities suitable for pets, kids, and adults, it’s a one-stop spot that’ll keep everybody happy.
