Marguerite Park in Commugny: the mega playground
Nicknamed the "little Central Park" of Terre Sainte, the Marguerite Park in Commugny is a vast enclosed playground, featuring three age-specific zones, a city stadium, and fitness equipment. Free of charge, open year-round, it is perfect for a family outing in La Côte.
The "little Central Park" of Terre Sainte
In Commugny, Parc Marguerite has everything of a great park. Inaugurated in September 2018, this vast green space truly deserves its nickname of the "little Central Park" of Terre Sainte. People come for the playground, but they stay for the whole experience: lawns, fitness equipment, a city stadium, and plenty of space to run. The large playground is fully enclosed, which makes a big difference when you have several children of different ages. You can take a breather while the little ones explore safely.
What your children will discover
The park is designed to grow with your children. Three distinct zones share the space according to age.
- For toddlers: a sandbox, small houses, and little slides at their scale.
- For middle-aged kids: swings for safe play.
- For older kids: climbing structures and a large slide that make an impression.
Around, fitness equipment allows parents to move too, and a city stadium completes the setup for football, basketball, or a bit of street workout.
What to do there and the atmosphere on site
The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed. Children move from one zone to another, climbing, sliding, and looping around. The older kids readily monopolize the city stadium for an impromptu match, while the little ones stay close to the sandbox. It's the kind of place where you meet local families, where children gather and play together. Plan for a good amount of time: between the playground and the multi-sport field, you can easily spend a morning or an entire afternoon there.
Before you go
- Recommended age: from 1 to 12 years, each age group finds its zone.
- Duration: plan for 1.5 hours to half a day depending on age.
- Price: free, open access.
- Stroller accessibility: yes, the park is level and easy to navigate.
- Transport: easy by car from the A1 motorway (Coppet/Nyon exit); regional buses from Terre Sainte nearby.

Parent tips
- The enclosed area is valuable with siblings: one space to supervise, half the stress.
- Bring your snack and water: the refreshment stand isn't always open, better to be self-sufficient.
- A ball in the trunk turns the city stadium into a large playground for older kids.
- During hot hours, aim for the morning or late afternoon; shade can be scarce in the height of summer.
- Equipment may evolve: in case of doubt, check with the municipality of Commugny.
