Playgrounds in Liguria
Playgrounds on the Italian Riviera - Sea breeze, sunshine and childrenâs laughter
Italians are a child-loving country and one can find public playgrounds even in the smallest mountain villages, and they are well visited and often even well lit at night too, when the heat of the day gives way to the lukewarm night breeze.
Gaming houses, sliding, swinging, adventure playgrounds
and even water playgrounds can be found near the ports, on beaches and in public parks. A family holiday is saved from disaster if there is a playground, beach and ice-cream parlour in the vicinity. Many modern outdoor facilities invite parents and their children to spend their free time there together. A tip for parents who are active in sports: while the children are romping around on the playground, you should also take time to do some exercises on the horizontal bar, with the skipping rope or make a couple of puppets. Thereafter, you can then savour the pizza and pasta with a good conscience!
Mondo Bimbo - Bouncing parks for children
One playground which charges entrance fees but is very popular among small children is the so-called Kinderland –Mondo Bimbo- consisting of big bouncing castles, huge sliding rails and small pedal cars, all types of stands selling sweets, and carrousels, and which can be found mostly at the coastal promenade in large coastal resorts during peak season, where the fresh sea breeze brings some fresh air to the requisite cap. Your young ones will love it and thereafter sleep soundly.
Lunaparks – playgroud for grown-ups
The Luna park is also wonderful for bigger children to romp around in. It is an amusement park with Go-Cart tracks, carrousels, shooting ranges, huge trampolines (Tappetti), mini-golf and box-cars.
Disco music, cotton candy, metre-long rubber snakes and everything that makes the hearts of over 10 year-olds beat faster can be found here.
You can also undertake an unforgettable excursion to the lifelike pirate ship in Porto Antico in Genoa, which is anchored right next to the Sea Aquarium, and was once used as a setting for a film. Children can re-enact the life of the men on deck after spending some time stroking rays in the aquarium – unforgettable moments which will for ever remain etched in one’s mind.
