Artistic Fences at Plainpalais



Geneva's newest creation is on Plainpalais, it has to be one of the most abstract climbing frames in the area being made of logs and fence panels... It's a really good area to play in and some of the obstacles are indeed quite challenging.

In addition there is a sand pit surrounded by concrete dunes. The dunes have push button water for testing your canal construction.

The adjoining skate park is also pretty special.

And while there you can even grab a free bike to get around town.

In summer months bring your sun cream and sun hats - there is very little shade!

Rope Pyramid at St. Genis


The rope pyramid in St Genis is challenging enough to keep older children interested while underneath small ones can enjoy the large sandpit.

A football pitch and skate park are also on hand.

The park is a short walk from St. Genis centre. It's also just a pleasant ten minute walk along to the river bank to the Castle at St. Genis.

Climb in the Vineyards

At Satigny-Dessus there is school playground with climbing frames and a witch's hat. It's a nice playground surrounded by vineyards.

This is a public playground when not in use by the local primary school.

There's also a skate park with half pipe and grind rails next door.

Table Football and Skateboard Park at Moëns

Concrete table football, just bring your own ball.

On  the outskirts of Prévessin-Moëns by the football pitch there are various sports facilities including some swings. The climbing frame is good. The round-a-bout looks good but pushing it far too hard and it squeaks, it just needs a good oiling.

There's also concrete table tennis and table football there to use, just bring a bat and ball.

And of course there is skateboard park with half pipe, a basketball court and what I thought was a massive sandpit but was, of course, a vollyball court.

Genrally this place feels a bit on the edge of nowhere and most people probably drive here but it's a nice enough place if you are passing.
