Playgrounds in shopping Malls

Recently, I am seeing more playgrounds in shopping malls and am excited about them. Here's a run down of the shopping complexes that I know of that have a FOC playground in their compound:

Outdoors -
1) IMM (3rd floor, there's also a water featured play area as in photo below)

2) Hougang Mall (5th floor, featured above)

3) Bishan Junction 8

4) Suntec City (exit from door beside Toys R Us)

5) VIVO City (2nd floor, large, crowded on weekends, water features also available)

Indoors -
1) Paragon (small, beside escalator leading to Toys R Us)

2) United Square (a really small one outside Colds Storage)



Look forward to my reviews on each and every of these play grounds!
