CCK Town has a new mini road safety park for the young and young-at-heart.
Conveniently sited at Block 208, Choa Chu Kang Central, the park is one of the key features of the ongoing Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP) for Blocks 201–239 Choa Chu Kang Ave 1/Central.
The new park, designed as a children’s cycling trail with fun elements, was completed in December 2024.
It offers users a “real” road experience, from directional arrows, zebra crossings and even yellow boxes! Road signs alert users to “give way” and look out for pedestrian crossings.

Kids can choose which roles they want to take on: cyclist, motorist or pedestrian.
The concept and design resulted from a collaborative effort between CCK Town Council, HDB, the project’s architects, and residents who first mooted the idea during the NRP consultation sessions conducted by MP for CCK division, Mr Gan Kim Yong.
Residents are thrilled with the addition of this newest facility. One frequent user is 3-year-old Eden Lim (see below), who lives near the park.

His dad, Clement, said: “Eden loves zooming around on his scooter, enjoying the park’s fun and freedom.
“What makes this park stand out is its educational value. It’s a fantastic space where we can teach Eden about road safety in a hands-on and engaging way. There are various traffic signs and zebra crossing lines. The setup is perfect for introducing young children to important road rules in a playful yet practical environment.”
Besides the new park, the NRP includes a community sports hub, pavilion, playgrounds and fitness corners.
Mr Gan, who is also deputy prime minister, said: “I am delighted that the community welcomes our new mini road safety park, especially families with young children. I hope this interactive space will not only teach kids about road safety but also serve as a place for families to spend time and create joyful memories.”
