PUBLIC PLAYGROUNDS & PARKS
Agricultural Pavilion Grounds (Lower Valley)
This large, government-owned facility offers a truly unique Caymanian experience. On Saturday mornings, from 7am-12pm, parents can shop for fruits, vegetables, organic products and local delicacies at the Market on the Grounds while their children play in a brand-new playground featuring a maze and much more. Once a year, on Ash Wednesday, this facility hosts a showcase of local agricultural produce and livestock which is one of the Island's largest family events. For updates and information call (345) 947 3090.
Airport Park (George Town)
Kids and parents alike will get a kick out of watching aeroplanes from this front-row vantage point, adjacent to the Owen Roberts International Airport runway and just opposite the Foster's Food Fair supermarket. This recently refurbished park has as many see-saws and slides as any child could want, as well as restroom facilities. The only disadvantage is a lack of shade, so it's best to take children on cloudy days, very early or at the end of the day. In addition to plane-spotting, another unique feature which can be equally exciting for children is a turtle pond located immediately behind the park. A clever parent will buy turtle food from Petique (Pasadora Place) or take puppy chow along for extra fun. The area is fenced, but food can be thrown through to the turtles quite easily.
Botanic Park (Frank Sound)
The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park is a wonderful area for nature walks and for viewing the endangered blue iguana. For more information, check the Activities for Adults chapter.
