Scholars Park (West Bay)

This landscaped park is located down Stadium Drive (WB) and features a variety of climbing frames, swings, rope ladders and slides all set in a huge sand pit. In addition to shady cabanas and barbecue pits, there are also toilet facilities and sizeable grassy areas for the little ones to let off steam! Once again, this is a popular site for children’s parties. A cabana can be reserved for kiddies’ parties for the nominal sum of CI$10 by calling the Recreation, Parks and Cemeteries Unit on (345) 946 8250.

Airport Park

This park has been newly refurbished, and if your kids get a kick out of watching aeroplanes taking off and landing then you could not find a better vantage point. Located opposite the Foster’s Food Fair supermarket, this park has as many see-saws and slides as any child could want. One of the best kept secrets is the turtle pond behind the park, which can be equally exciting. A clever parent will buy turtle food from Petique (Pasadora Place) for extra fun. The whole area is fenced, but food can be thrown through the fence quite easily.

South Sound Park

A gift from the Dart Foundation to the Cayman Islands, this is a shady oasis in South Sound. It is a short drive from the harbour along South Church Street, just past Sunset House.
