Play centres
Would you like to give your child the opportunity to play outdoors in a safe environment, very close to your home? You can do that in a play centre supervised by people from your own part of town. Nijmegen offers five municipal local play centres and a children’s zoo. Everyone is welcome, and it's free.

The play centres are open in the summer months from May to the end of October from 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. and from November to the end of April from 11.45 a.m. to 4.45 p.m. O f course there are other small playgrounds dotted around the town, but they are not supervised.
