Playground Les Petits Sapins in Rolle

A nature break in the heart of Rolle

In Rolle, the playground Les Petits Sapins lives up to its name. It's a place to breathe, let the children climb, slide, and expend energy, in a gentle and family-friendly neighborhood atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you stop by after school or on the weekend, for a simple and happy moment.

What your children will love

Here, everything invites free play. The little ones enjoy the low-height structures and baby swings. The older ones seek challenges on the climbing modules and the slide, invent obstacle courses, and organize an impromptu treasure hunt. The place is friendly, with shade at certain times of the day, ideal for a snack break.

It's an outdoor, sensory, and playful activity. You move, test your balance, and learn to wait your turn. Children easily meet each other, and parents willingly exchange a few tips.
