Playground and skatepark of the Mies Sports Centre

A renovated sports center by the lake

In Mies, route de Veytay, the sports area has been rejuvenated in recent years, with new changing rooms and the snack bar "La Bohème" arriving around 2024. For families, the heart of the interest lies in two words: the playground and the skatepark, both freely accessible and free of charge. Surrounding them are more structured facilities (padel, tennis) that give the place a true atmosphere of a lively sports center. It's a pleasant stop in Terre Sainte, just steps away from Lake Geneva.

What your children will discover

Children first have the playground to themselves, with, according to the municipality, a climbing wall that delights budding climbers. Next to it, the skatepark welcomes skateboarders, scooters, and rollerbladers. The more athletic will also find a basketball hoop for 3×3 and a fitness course to expend energy. The padel and tennis courts complete the offer, this time by reservation.

What to do there and the atmosphere on site

The atmosphere is that of a well-maintained and family-friendly sports center. While the little ones explore the playground, the older ones roll at the skatepark or go through the fitness course workshops. The snack bar "La Bohème" offers a welcome stop to grab a drink or take a break. This blend of open spaces for children and more structured facilities for those who want to book a court is appreciated.
