Two main UPlay activations are not to be missed: the Summer Sports Fiesta (June 1 - July 19) packs in a brand new series of sport-inspired photobooths at DE, IG-worthy oversized pickleball-themed floats as well as pickleball and water polo matches at WWW, plus an array of enrichment try-outs and rewards.

Pickleball fans can clock in some real play at Pickle Splash, Singapore’s first pickleball court inside a waterpark, where rallies come with a side of waves. The court offers a one-of-a-kind experience where visitors can rally, play and cool off between matches.

The inaugural Sportacular Family PlayDay 2026 brings families together for a lively morning at Orchid Country Club. Organised by UPlay Communities in partnership with Start Young, an experiential programmes and events partner, the outing is designed to strengthen community bonding through active lifestyles.

Centred on a ‘Try-It-All Sports Playground’ concept, families team up and move freely at their own pace across different stations in a non-competitive setting focused on participation, exploration and shared experiences.

Rally it out at table tennis or kick into motion with football drills, then jump into Zumba, quick HIIT bursts or kickboxing – short, guided sessions that are easy to follow and fun to join.

Along the way, check out more UPlay experiences at Orchid Bowl and GreenBox by My Golf Kaki. Take on obstacle-style challenges, basketball, table tennis and a variety of fun-filled activities for the whole family to enjoy. At selected stations, participants can also score instant rewards simply for taking part.

Collect a stamp at each station and, upon completion of all try-outs, qualify for the lucky draw with over $2,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, including a Nintendo Switch 2 (worth $719), Universal Studios Singapore tickets for two adults and two children (worth $304), a 2D1N Orchid Country Club stay (worth $350) and more.

Beyond the activities, families can also pick up simple tips from Khoo Teck Puat Hospital on staying active across all ages, covering fitness, injury prevention, healthy habits and more.

Finally, don’t miss this: refuelling on the complimentary carnival style bites with the fam, and power up amid the action.
