PICTURES. 5 playgrounds for children to discover in Monaco and around
Let’s take a look back at five playgrounds in Monaco and around the Principality, to discover or rediscover with your children.
Our first service area, in the Principality, is located Rue Augustin Vento. In this small alley, hidden on the right, juxtaposed to the building “Le Stella”, are three separate areas. Here is one of them in the photo below. In total, a space of 220 square meters intended for children aged 1 to 6 years. A calm area which is notably in the shade for part of the day: a godsend in view of the hot weather, still relevant in this month of September.

A kilometer further on, at the end of the Saint-Honoré promenade, there is a well-equipped playground. A zebra slide, a hippopotamus platform and spring games (suitable for children with reduced mobility), smoking place on this area of 188 square meters. It is currently wrapped in wire mesh but is open and accessible. Benches and vegetation complete the place, pleasant for young and old alike.
Let’s take a trip to Beausoleil, a town bordering Monaco. Our area requires a car trip, because it is located in the heights of the town, within the André Vanco sports complex. It is located next to the petanque courts and offers many facilities including several play structures and two swings. The second area of the town, located in the city center, avenue Verdun, is still under construction.
Back in Monaco, direction two small areas. One, rue Princesse Caroline, is equipped with a fire truck and a spring toy suitable for children with reduced mobility. Many benches accompany this equipment. The other is located above La Poste and has three spring games. The place is quiet but be careful, it is in full sun most of the day.
Our path ends at Cap d’Ail. In addition to the very lively Marquet beach playground, there is a more discreet area on the heights of the town. Next to the Samuel Paty kindergarten, an area of a hundred meters of school will be perfect for occupying school outings. It is made up of several spring games and a structure.
