Town centre play area

First of all, there's the pond, a small patch of greenery where the water reflects the dance of the tall white willows. The benches around the pond invite you to contemplate, read or take a picnic break. Then the adjoining play and leisure area opens its arms to you. The youngest visitors will inevitably be drawn to the huge spider's web in the centre of the area. Quickly transformed into the mast of a ship or an impregnable fortress in the imagination of children, it will be the object of fierce races between sailors and knights and great moments of play. Older children will not be left out with the installation of the fitness trail. There are ten or so apparatus to test your agility and stamina, with a range of sporting exercises that are accessible to as many people as possible. Finally, the petanque court completes the leisure area's facilities. When the weather's fine, sunny afternoons are sure to be enlivened by the clink of bocce balls, the footsteps of runners and the laughter of children.

GOOD TO KNOW: Secured leisure area with wooden rails around the perimeter – play area accessible from age 3 – A few parking spaces at the end of the cul-de-sac provide easy access.
