Nostalgic Brooches – 02:08
by the little dröm store (Singapore)
In the late 70s, a series of sand-based mosaic playgrounds were built by Singapore Housing and Development Board (HDB). While the most iconic of them is the Dragon Playground, my love goes to the Pelican one.

Unfortunately, all Pelican playgrounds were demolished by 2012.
