Activities for children in Onex
Between the Rhône and the countryside, on the heights of the left bank, Onex has been built around an asset that many envy: the Parc des Evaux, one of the largest green spaces in the canton of Geneva. For families, it promises generous nature just ten minutes from downtown.
Here, outings are mostly enjoyed outdoors: tree climbing, sports courses, large lawns for running. And when the desire to swim arises, the municipal pool takes over, summer and winter alike.
