A sports and outdoor day with family in Meyrin
In Meyrin, close to CERN and the French border, the Maisonnex Sports Complex is a large space dedicated to sports and outdoor leisure. People come here to move, hit the ball, splash around, or simply enjoy a beautiful afternoon outside. The site is designed for both seasoned athletes and families looking for an active and easily accessible outing.
The advantage of Maisonnex is the variety: in a single visit, your children can enjoy a game of mini-golf, a swim, and some playtime, all without having to change locations.
What your children will discover
The complex brings together several activities in one place:
- An outdoor swimming pool with a 25-meter pool and a kiddie pool for the little ones (open from mid-May to mid-September approximately).
- An 18-hole mini-golf, perfect for a family game where everyone has a chance.
- Indoor and outdoor tennis courts, with lessons and camps offered for children.
- Squash and padel courts, for teens and parents who want to get active.
Between swimming, mini-golf, and racket sports, there’s enough to fill an entire afternoon.
What to do there and the atmosphere on site
Maisonnex has the relaxed atmosphere of a large neighborhood sports center: families settled by the pool, children running between the mini-golf courses, players warming up on the courts. You can come for a specific activity (a tennis lesson, a game of mini-golf) or spend the day enjoying various activities, especially in the summer when the pool is open.
The setting is green and airy, making it a great spot on nice days. Outside of swimming season, the site remains lively thanks to tennis, squash, and padel, which can be played year-round.
