Review: SWINGS..A Modern Picnic Area!

9/2/2015

Entrance to Swings! A picnic and camping site located in Zaraaoun - MarMousa / El Metn
Back in the old days, we use to grab our food look out for a nice open spot (the greener and near water the better) to enjoy a full busy Picnic day in nature!! NO tables - chairs - WC or any nearby available snack shop to make up for what you forgot getting!! Just us with family, and friends in the wild nature...however, these days picnic experience have upgraded thanks to smart venue owners :)

​Swings is one of them!
Last Monday we headed over with 3 other family friends, we had our foods and drinks  & our kids age: 2 - 4 - 10 & 14! We spent a fabulous afternoon, 5 hours of outdoor fun & everyone was happy. Thus, I felt like sharing our review of this nice place! 

Venue

Swing is a huge open space park (around 10,000m2) that offers both picnic and camping area along with variety of outdoor fun activities suitable for all ages!!
It's divided in several zones :
stage 1: picnic area near the entrance & camping site on the other side
stage 2: camping site part 2 and part 1 of adults activities (Human baby foot - archery - bikes ....)
stage 3: picnic seating - kids playground (under 6 years old) - more activities for older kids (zip line - huge swing - trampoline - tree climbing...)

Kids Playground

A nice big spot surrounded by a fence dedicated for the little ones... It included Trampoline - kids zipline & tricycle - swings - sand pit - tree climbing & couple of toys for little ones however not much for age 2 years (mostly suitable for 4 years)
Note: Monitors were young students who were busy chatting or playing on the phone so personally I wouldn't leave my kids alone.. especially little ones can climb up the trees or their foot can get stuck in some of the torn ropes!
Besides that, my kids had a blast playing around...

Activities

Visitors are free to bring their kids outdoor toys (ball - Bicycle etc...) or enjoy the wide selection provided by Swings which are suitable for all ages!!
Note: Bicycle path was in-between people and in front entrance to kid's playground which was a hassle and stressful worrying about any incidents!

In the end, I can proudly say we enjoyed our experience, cooking our own food, eating out, gazing at the open space, sinking in the quite nature, playing running and jumping around with our kids!!
We had a pleasant time fully indulging in nature, away from the traffic, noise and all screens ;) Thus, besides the few notes I mentioned earlier, this place is highly recommended for a quality fun Family times!
