Shared spaces within housing enclaves are important institutions that bind people together. One such example is the playground. Alkaff Courtview offers 3 levels of differentiated play spaces with an overarching theme reflecting the abundance of nature of the Bidadari Estate. With each level embodying different realms of nature, children are encouraged to connect with nature and given a unique and educational play experience.
