Between Perrache dock and Mue station, a breath of joy sweeps through Confluence with the much-awaited arrival of "Caterpilou", a gigantic playground that is set to become the go-to spot for both young and old residents of Lyon. Get ready, it's going to be legendary!

Since autumn 2023, a discreet but promising project has taken root in the heart of the Confluence district in Lyon. It's the creation of a revolutionary playground, a space of 1,200 m² mixing greenery and entertainment for our dear little ones. Named "Caterpilou", in reference to its giant caterpillar shape, this space will be located within an "urban forest", as explained by our colleagues at Actu Lyon. A project led by the public local company Confluence, which aims to create a relaxing place for families looking for adventure as well as workers in the district seeking a comforting break.

Giant caterpillar, swings, and refreshments

The "Caterpilou" doesn't do things by halves. Its centerpiece: a 40-meter long caterpillar-playground that will be the favorite of children (and let's admit it, some adults too) looking for playful adventures. But that's not all, as aerial swings, a trampoline reaching for the sky, and water areas like oases of freshness will be part of the scenery.

Urban adventurers, get ready for some exciting news! The first part of the new playground will be ready in spring 2024. When the sun starts shining in Confluence, Caterpilou will open its doors for a real adventure. And that's just the beginning – the district is also planning to create a huge "canopy", an urban forest with over 1,000 trees. This green oasis at the edge of the district will bring a natural and peaceful vibe to this already amazing space.
