Play area of the Crans-près-Céligny Sports Center

A fenced area that reassures parents

At the Crans-près-Céligny Sports Center, one thing is appreciated above all: the area is completely fenced. With little ones, it's a real relief. You can let them explore while you keep a calm eye from a bench or a picnic table. But the place is not limited to the playground: it also includes several mini-sports fields, enough to keep the whole family occupied in one spot. Well served by the bus from Nyon, it's a simple and free outing, perfect for a morning or afternoon on La Côte.

What to do there and the atmosphere on site

The atmosphere is calm and family-friendly. Children alternate between the playground and the mini-fields, moving from the slide to the ball in just a few steps.
