Guernsey with Kids

Les Amarreurs Playground

A great playground on Guernsey’s North coast, in a stunning location just behind Ladies Baby and Les Amarreurs Anchorage.  Lots of play equipment for children of all ages makes it well worth a visit. 

Location

Les Amarreurs Playground is at the western end of L’Ancresse Common on Les Amarreurs Road in Vale.  There is ample parking in the parking area next to the playground and along Les Amarreurs Road.

Alongside Les Amarreurs playground, is Les Amarreurs anchorage, a scenic anchorage with a small jetty, a great spot for fishing, snorkelling and jumping off the jetty into the cool water on a hot summers day and Ladies Bay, a stunning horseshoe shaped beach with soft white sand.

The Playground

My girls love this park because there is a good selection of play equipment.  Particular favourites are the large slide built into the side of a hill, monkey bars, wooden climbing area and the circular metal climbing frame. 

This is a great playground to try if you fancy a more traditional park with enough equipment to keep kids of all ages entertained for a long time.

Facilites

By the entrance to Ladies Bay is the Silly Cow Kiosk which serves great ice creams and milkshakes.

There are public toilets just behind the playground which are open year-round. There are also a number of benches and picnic tables making it a great spot for a picnic.
