There are a total of 3 sonic facilities over there, namely 1. telephone tubes, 2. communal drum and 3. parabolic dish.




The parabolic dishes are huge but the instructions on how to play with it is not very clear, at least to me. i didn't get the instructions although when i tried it, it was obvious that the dishes amplify the sounds that i've made when i was between them.
These interactive equipments can make and manipulate sounds which demonstrate acoustics, science, and physics and also promote cognitive development through manipulation, experimentation and imagination.
Some benefits of these equipments as follow:
-Besides being an interactive sonic equipment, it introduces the beauty of sculpture as the forms are unique;
-It encourages group activities which could promotes team building, cooperation and coordination among their peers; and
-Children can experiment the behavior of the sound by playing it in different ways;
i'm not so sure about what is the age range of the target users for the sonic playground but i feel that the playground is not very intuitive, so that was why nobody was playing with it when i was there and the instructions are definitely too difficult for the kindergarten kids to understand.
