We discovered this outdoor leisure space and playground in Praz-sur-Arly, on a 🍁 sunny autumn day a few years ago now . . . our boys were delighted to be able to play in the vast open space surrounding the playgrounds, and we were able to lift our faces to the sun and relax (for a short period!). The leisure space is much more than just playgrounds, however, so head along well-equipped with balls (footballs, basketballs) and bikes and draisiennes . . .
Playgrounds
There are two lovely, spacious playgrounds for all ages:
- a fire-engine, slide and other features for little ones;
- and a tyrolienne and a NEW 🕸 spiderweb climbing frame for older ones (with little hidey holes!);





La Buvette des Belles
This ☕️ buvette and restaurant was taken over by new owners, who added on a covered terrace and who have animated the Base de Loisirs des Belles with lots of new activities: markets, parties, 🍗 BBQs . . . and you can order 🥞 pancakes with Nutella for goûter (not crêpes; thick American or Scottish-style small pancakes!) / FB page / address: 365 routes des Belles, Le Chardonneret 4A, Praz-Sur-Arly;

There are also some cachettes with books to read hidden inside, giant chess, ping-pong, a Jeu de l’Oie, and a table set up with Connect 4!
Mini-Golf d’Art Singulier
⛳️ Mini-Golf d’Art Singulier is just behind the ☕️ Buvette des Belles and the climbing wall, and it is made up of 18 holes and 20 works of art! Ideal for a hot summer’s day, much of the golf-course is in the shade and some of it is in the forest! / 🗓 opening hours: every day in summer from 9h until 19h;


Terrain multi-sport
At this 🏀 multi-sport pitch you can play basketball, football, handball . . . so make sure you bring your own equipment! I recently discovered an enjoyment for shooting hoops here! Little ones can cycle around the track. 😉

Skate-park
The 🛹 skate-park is just behind the playground . . .

Tennis & Volleyball
Next to the playground, there are 🎾 two tennis courts and a wall for practice. There is also a 🏐 volleyball court with sand. / 🗓 opening hours: spring to autumn, 9h until 19h (reservations at the Buvette des Belles);


Pétanque
Behind the tennis courts is an area to play pétanque!
Climbing
There is 🧗♂️ a climbing tower set up in the summer holidays, an ideal spot to learn or to progress in climbing skills; 7m high, the wall has climbing up to difficulty rating of 6C;

VTT course (Ludik Park)
Along 💦 the Arly river, in the shade, is a 🚵♂️ bike track that has been set out at the Base de Loisirs des Belles. Parents can help their little ones progress in their VTT skills.

Coming soon: a plan d’eau!
Very soon, Praz-sur-Arly should be equipped with its own plan d’eau, with one access via a passerelle from the Base de Loisirs des Belles! (check with Mairie de Praz-sur-Arly for more details);

address: Plaine des Belles, 74120, Praz-sur-Arly;
