Get Interactive at Flunch

Flunch Interactive

Play table  coming away from the wall.
Flunch is the recently rebranded cafeteria at Carrefour in Segny. It has a toddler's area which is basically a pretty small copy of an Ikea cafeteria play area with interactive panels and those beads on wire things. It also has a tiny telly so far away you can't see it.  I noticed also that one of shelves was coming away from the wall which, given this is a new place, seems bad. The ball pit that used to be here in Cafe Cresendo has now long gone.

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.

Boat at Gex

Boat at Gex
The new boat at Gex is almost certainly one of the best playgrounds in the Pays de Gex. The huge boat can be climbed on 3 levels with slides, bridges, pole, ... The surface beneath the climbing frames is rubberised and bouncy. The play area is completely fenced in including the only self shutting gate I have seen in the area. As well as the boat there are some swings, two slides and a slightly harder climbing frame for older children.
