I want a Mcdonalds in my neighbourhood because I have to walk very far to get to the nearest Mcdonalds.

I would like Singapore to add a football stadium. This can encourage people to play football and increase the quality of football in Singapore. This can also encourage a healthy lifestyle in Singapore. Lately, the government has been tearing down football stadiums and replacing them with HDB Flats. This is one of the reasons the football community in Singapore has been decreasing. I hope that the government will put a bit more consideration into encouraging a bigger football community.

I think that the main facility I would like to have around my neighbourhood is a bigger playground. This is because the playground in my neighbourhood is quite small. Having a bigger playground would encourage more children to go to the playground, giving the opportunity to form friendships. This would also allow children to have more choices on what to play. A small playground also makes me feel like the neighbourhood is not considering children’s feelings. Having a bigger playground would make me feel better about this.

Thus, I would really like a bigger playground because it gives children an opportunity to form friendships, choices on games and a sense of belonging

I would like a cinema in my neighbourhood because most of the malls near my house don’t have a cinema and I have to travel very far to get to a mall with a cinema and I love to watch movies

I would want to have a pool in my neighbourhood as I love swimming but cannot swim a lot as I my neighbourhood does not have one. I could only swim in my friends pool. I also can swim so that I’m not bored. If I cannot not get a pool in my neighbourhood, I would instead get a pool in my house. I have never seen an indoor pool but has been fascinated by them for how the water does not overflow. I would also be able to swim everyday and could even add into my daily routine for everyday. All in all, I would want to have a pool in either my neighbourhood or my house

My dream playground should have three slides which are of different patterns such as the classic spiral. The playground should have monkey bars. In addition to that, the playground should have a swing and a seesaw. Lastly, the playground should be painted with vibrant colours which will captivate the eyes of children. In my condominium’s playground, there are no monkey bars and the colours seem quite bland as the committee decided on one particular design and were fixated on that idea.

I would like more snack vending machines because it will be convenient for me as I prefer not to talk to people. Other than that, I would like a place for me to rollerblade as it is one of the sports I like to do and this will encourage me to go outside and rollerblade. Maybe they can also design the playground to look like the merlion

We would like a new cinema because the closest cinema is Katong which takes me around 20 minute bus ride it allows us to watch all the latest movies without having to travel so far and having a local cinema lower the total price as it takes less money to travel to the cinema.

The facilities I would like are more playgrounds, fields and more shops.This is because when I want to play down stairs to play soccer and rugby but their is no space to play. In my opinion more fields should be placed down and around neighbourhood and for the food shops when I want to eat other foods I can’t. In my personal experience I have experienced many people complaining about me playing rugby below their house and that I could break a window. In my ideal playground there is no zip lines to play with my friend Zaki and run around and there is to many little kids and I accidentally push small kids over and I want a pool in my HDB. In a nut shell I would like all of my recommendations.

I want a universal studios near my neighbourhood so that that me and my community can spend some time at universal studios. it will also be a great bonding experience for me,my family and my friends.Since the universal studios in Sinapore is far I would appreciate if one was built next to me house as I enjoy roller coasters.

A facility I would like in my neighbourhood is a library. I enjoy reading books in a quiet and conducive environment. People can also donate books for under-privileged families in the neighbourhood. This way, the children can have a basic education. Moreover, people can read to the children, helping them cultivate a habit of loving the language. In my opinion, everyone should be given an opportunity to learn. In conclusion, a facility I would like in my neighbourhood is a library.

I would really like to have a playground with cycling and scootering paths as in the playground in my condominium we are not allowed to cycle,Scooter or skate.This is why I would love to have this facility as whenever my friends and I go downstairs,we really want to scoot or cycle but we are not allowed to,so will often resort to going home.Many other children in my condominium also do not spend as much time in the open due to this.Scooter and cycle paths should be made so that more children will play outdoors to keep fit and healthy. I also would like there to be a hawker centre so that people from different races and cultures can interact with one another and form friendships

I would like to have a home where cats can roam freely inside. I got this idea due to all the stray cats in my neighborhood. I feel bad for the cats as all of them live under cars and on the road. I think a cat home would be good for cats and people alike. People can visit the home to pet or feed the cats. Cats would have the home as a form of shelter from the rain. The home can help them get cleaned and fed. Almost every night, my father, my sister and I will go out to feed the cats in the neighborhood. We would normally spend at least an hour as there are a lot of cats who are very hungry.

I would love a fairprice in my neighbourhood as the nearest one is quite far away. I think that by building one will make it more convenient for not only my family and I , but also for my neighbours. This will also allow people to go to the nearest supermarket by walking, cycling or scootering, saving the environment. If we do not have enough ingredients when cooking, we can easily go to the supermarket. In my neighbourhood, there is a small supermarket but the fruits are not very fresh and the options are limited.

I would like there to be a rock climbing wall. That is because children can exercise and build their arm mucles. They also will be able to interact with one another while taking part in friendly competitions. In my opinion, exercising while interacting with your loved ones is helpful as they can boost your morale when you are feeling discouraged. All in all I would like to say that I would love a rock climbing wall to be in my neighbourhood.

I want a swimming pool in my neighbourhood. This is because the swimming pool in my neighbourhood is too shallow. In my opinion, we should have a bigger swimming pool so that more people can swim in it. Personally, during my Swimsafer program held in my school, the swimming pool there was really big and my friends and I had a lot of fun swimming in it. Hence, I want a swimming pool in my neighbourhood.

I would like to have a gaming room in my neighbourhood as it will be a good way for people to learn new games and enjoy playing with other people and with a brother who is always in his room playing games on his pc I think it will be nice if there was a gaming room for people who are like my brother to make new friends and enjoy playing games with each other

I would like to have a swimming complex in front my neighbourhood.Swimming is not only fun but also it is my favourite sport . Although I have a swimming pool in my condominium,but I want to compete with other people and learn how I can improve or how fast I can swim.I also make more friends when I go to that swimming complex. My swimming coach also says that I am doing very well during my swimming class,which I don’t go anymore due to PSLE.

To be honest, there are not many facilities that are needed to be added around my neighbourhood as my condominium already has first-class facilities. One thing that I would really appreciate is a movie theatre to be built.

Since the nearest cinema to my house is quite far, I think that it would be exciting news for all the movie-lovers near my neighbourhood. Personally, I think that watching movies on my television is my favourite hobby so I really think it would be quite cool to have a theatre to watch movies in quite often.

This is my ideal playground. This is because children in my neighbourhood are very chaotic and noisy, so I think that this playground is entertaining and would make the children completely immersed in this playground. The playground can make the children very quiet and hopefully not disturb me from studying.
