Town: Peymeinade (France)
Location: Peygros area

To meet the needs of its growing family population, the town of Peymeinade (06 region of France – Alpes Maritimes) has launched various projects to develop facilities for children. One of these is the play area in Peygros, with a project designed to revitalise this under-used space to create a pleasant and sociable place that can be enjoyed by all generations.

The town wanted to theme the play area on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s story of “The Little Prince”, in reference to the nearby school named after the author. The custom surfacing and all structures reflect themes from the book: the stars, the sky, the Little Prince’s planet, the rose, the desert, the boa constrictor that eats the elephant…

The play area is divided into two separate spaces: one for children from 2 to 8 years of age and the other for children from 6 to 14 years of age.

The first play zone takes young children on a journey. Between the earth and the sky, they share adventures in a magical universe. All the play equipment installed and selected is inspired by famous characters and other elements from The Little Prince:
