Dad with toddler skating? Sound like fun to me! Fathers also have their unique way of bonding with their kids, just like this dad who brought his kid to a skateboard surf in Jurong Lake Gardens.
In a TikTok video uploaded by wikicalisthenics on April 7, a happy dad is seen skating one round on the Mini Bowl Pod while carrying his toddler in the newly opened SkatePark in Lakeside Garden.
The cool dad and his child were both seen smiling as they enjoy gliding in the new skating park.

Safety concernsHowever, some parents who seen the video can’t help but to feel concern about the safety of the child.
They recommend wearing a helmet and set of gears for the kid.

The pod is about 0.9m to 1.5m deep with shallow bowls designed for intermediate or pro skaters to practice drop-ins. It just opened last April 1 and considered the Singapore’s largest outdoor skate park, Lakeside Garden.
In terms of the safety, the Mini Bowl Pod, where the father and son were seen, is known to have gentler slopes compared to other pods. Meaning, it is suitable for beginners.
Skating to bond with kidsSkating can be a great and fun way to bond with your kids, especially that Jurong Lake Gardens, Singapore has an accessible park suitable for the activity.
You don’t know maybe this even become a hobby for your child, especially if you want to tone down their screen time.
Consider roller blades or roller skates as well, but, of course, always keep your child’s safety in mind by buying them safety gears.
Stay cool parents! Bring out your inner child for your kids!
