CRAPA Trail of the Matelon Pond

Description

This athletic course stretches along the edge of the Matelon pond, just steps from the center of La Chapelle-des-Fougeretz. Five fitness stations line the path: parallel bars, a horizontal ladder, an abdominal bench, a monkey bridge, and a balance beam. All around, the park features an orchard, community gardens, a Moroccan garden, and a playground, with picnic tables for a break. Access is free, and a stabilized parking area is located right next to the orchard.

It is located in La Chapelle-des-Fougeretz, in the department of Ile-et-Vilaine.
