Long Business Description

The playground offers a good selection of play equipment for children of all ages along with a kiosk, benches, picnic tables and pubic toilets.

Location

Les Amarreurs Playground is at the western end of L’Ancresse Common on Les Amarreurs Road in Vale, with ample parking next to the playground.

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. 

What We Think…
 

Our girls have fun at 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 the kids of all ages entertained for quite a while.
