Playground and street workout area of Céligny

A playground and sports area in the Geneva enclave of Céligny

Céligny is a geographical curiosity: a Geneva enclave nestled in the heart of Vaud's Terre Sainte, between lake and vineyards. At the crossroads of Céligny road and Founex road, the municipality developed an area in 2020 that will please the whole family. A playground for children, picnic furniture for breaks, fitness equipment, and a street workout structure designed for all ages: you can come with little ones or teenagers, and everyone finds something to move around. Everything is free and open access.

What your children will discover

The youngest enjoy the playground, while teenagers and adults try out the street workout structure: pull-up bars, wall bars, and modules for bodyweight exercises. The fitness equipment complements the setup for those who want to warm up or stretch. The structure has been designed for children, teenagers, and adults, making it a great place for families to get introduced to street gymnastics exercises.

What to do there and the atmosphere on site

The place has a peaceful village square atmosphere. People come to let their children play, do some pull-ups, or simply picnic in the shade. Teenagers appreciate being able to train in street workout without any special equipment, while parents alternate between supervising the little ones and using the equipment. The municipality also has a multi-sports field on Coudres road for those who want to extend their outing with ball games.
