Sports and leisure activities Ain

With its Olympic swimming pool, diving boards, a training pool, a paddling pool for the little ones, the Nautical Center promises you good moments of pleasure, leisure and sport with aquabiking and aquagym. The 60-meter long slide will give you a good scare! While waiting to get into the water, some will enjoy the beach located next door, on the edge of the Divonne lake with numerous water activities. Opposite, a restaurant-bar to relax.

A nature area. Numerous water and land activities: sailing, canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, catamaran, beach volleyball, beach soccer, table tennis, archery, orienteering, fitness trail, golf, children's games, paddling pool, walking circuit, fishing areas... With its 56 ha of parkland and 21 ha of water, Bouvent is a must. Animations in high season, snacking restaurant. The site is accessible free of charge out of season.

A swimming pool equipped with a paddling pool, a playful pool, a slide and a sports pool and outside, in summer, a swimming pool, a pentaglisse, playgrounds and a bar, the opening of Carré d'Eau, in 2007, was an event expected by the Burgiens. It is rather a good equipment, but it suffers from some imperfections. A victim of its success, the 25 m sports pool often lacks water lines to satisfy all swimmers. The outdoor recreation pool suffers from the same sub-design with only two water lines of 50 m caught from the blast. It is better to target the least busy slots. During the cold season, changing rooms like ponds, fed by the city's wood boiler, are certainly ecological, but not very hot. And it is better to provide a good bathrobe for the bath exit. At long last, the staff will be informed if all aircraft in the spa area, whose occasional breakdowns are not always well reported, are working before paying a supplement.

With a brand new aquatic center, the Carré Tonique, the Plaine Tonique is even more beautiful to welcome us as a family this summer! Located on the edge of a lake where you can practice many water activities or relax on the beach, the aquatic center offers five pools. There are pools for the little ones, while the older ones will navigate between the heated indoor pool, the outdoor pools with 2 giant slides and water games... Many other activities on land to have fun all day long. Vacations with your feet in the water.

Welcome to the Bugey Adventure Course. One of the most beautiful and sensational tree adventure courses in the region. Its greatest particularity is that the courses are established around a pond that three zip lines cross. Adults and children have a great time on these courses with difficulties adapted to all publics. Nearly 150 games and activities to do in complete safety in a grandiose environment.

Next to the Loisirs leisure Park, the Golf course in Bourg-en-Bressse offers two courses: a six holes ideal for an initiation or perfect game and a nine progressive hole in the difficulty. School of Golf and Shop completes the offer, while the restaurant offers at all times frozen cooked dishes, frozen desserts and ice cream, in summer, compound salads, fried steaks, etc.

A club evolving in Pro B, JL has many fans. It must be said that the club played in Pro A of 2000 - when he won the French Championship - at 2007, with a final of the Aces Week in 2006. Since then, he has been regularly involved with the wheel-offs and therefore hopes to see them go back to the top category.

But JL is also, since 1937, a amateur section with 20 women's and men's teams spread over all age categories, from babies to senior citizens through a recreational team, more than 300 licensees.

At the heart of the club's concerns, the training centre is accredited by the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The mini-basketball school ensures the initiation and development of more than 60 children between the ages of 4 and 10.

Companies are invited to join the Business Bourg + Club, which allows them to enjoy private and privileged monthly VIP subscriptions.

The stadium Marcel Craft owes his name in memory of a player whose tragic accident entered the history of the club. Craft died on 24 September 1937 after a violent plaquage in front of Oyonnax.

Nicknamed the purple cauldron, the encounters are now more happy, especially during the last season that saw the club finish Federal 1 champion and validate its ticket for Pro D 2.

Capacity: 11 400 places.

Since 1959, the Seb has been dedicated to making horse riding accessible to all, including through the formation of riders of all ages. Initiation, development, internships, preparation of federal exams… The club has two dozen ponies and so many horses, 4,5 ha to two steps from the Seillon forest, with two quarries, an Olympic armoury, a boardwalk and a cross route.
The Seb is also an owner's team, with pension opportunities for horses and ponies, the preparation of equidae, the development of their sports performances and a competitive framework.

Opened in 1990, the Golf de la Sorelle has been taken over in 2014 by a new team enchanted by the place. And how could you fail to fall for this dreamlike setting in Dombes only 40 minutes away from Lyon town centre: the green course where water (what with Dombes and all) is present; history and heritage which are also present with the 13th Century Chateau de Richemont opposite the first hole and; one of the last poypes (local fortified castle) of Ain at the 12th hole. It is a splendid hilly and woody course of 18 holes par 72 (5 777 metres) accessible to as many people as possible. In some way, it is a "high class" golf in a rural area where each player can take his time to play (great gaming comfort) at his own pace to be really happy. The players also like around the golf a quality restaurant which forms part of the Golfy network (see our section Viree gourmandes in Restaurants): it offers a lovely setting and the possibility to organise meetings and seminars in well equipped rooms.In brief, the Golf de la Sorelle is all the delights of golf, whatever your level (lessons, training, initiations) together with the delights of the restaurant and those of a stay in the wild - 3-star hotel of 7 rooms on the Estate. A very Fute place

Paradise is here. Born in 1960 from the construction of a dam on the Ain river, the Chambod-Merpuis island offers 20 hectares of preserved nature - everything is currently being done to protect this site and its natural heritage - with a navigable body of water of 15 ^km2! An exceptional natural setting, but also a playground offering many outdoor activities: cycling, hiking, paddle, yoga... And for unlimited happiness, think of buying your summer pass to enjoy this natural and leisure island without any moderation.

Need to relax and take a deep dive in the freshness? Pont-de-Vaux is a city of water and the Archipelago is a "fun pool" with two pools, one indoor, the other outdoor, and a waterslide, pentagliss, splashpad (interactive water playground)... Not to mention a wellness area with 2 saunas (with 2 different heats), a hammam, whirlpool and a pool for supervised physical activities. To complete this offer, a cardiotraining room, a Zen garden and a snack bar.

In the shade of the oak trees, come and share nice moments with your family or friends, young and old, around playful and friendly moments. Skill, strategy and reflection are on the program of these giant wooden games. No less than 31 games are waiting for you, and you can play alone or with others, from 18 months old! That's to say that the generations will be able to have fun and exchange! On the program, the game of fifteen, the infernal tower, Mikado, but also the ring toss, the grinding wheel or the Dongo Disc. It's funny and colorful!

In Ambérieux, this indoor playground is a delight for all children aged 3 to 12. On 1,000 m², it is in a mysterious jungle-like island that your children will evolve between slides, interactive trampoline, mini-karting and multisport field. The baby zone welcomes your baby under 4 years old to develop his motor skills in the ball pool, and the snacking area will satisfy all the gourmets. Note that a new team play area now completes the already rich services of this playground.

The Amazonia centres - and the town of Bourg - do not escape the rule. You can use a badge at any time of the day with the numerous stretching or strength machines, individual changing rooms, cabins and showers to change. Internet access and relaxation area, with microwave, kettle, coffee and tea bags, syrups and fruit, are the service. The staff, at the time they are present, explain the operation of the machines and advise on the most efficient and safest way to use them.
In fact, Amazonia has only one defect, but it is major: the rates are particularly opaque. With discounts and other sponsorship formulas, no one seems to pay the same thing.

Playing in the first federal division, the US Bressane Pays de l'Ain is closely followed by many supporters, some of whom are assembled in club: Les Ultras.

Created in 1969 by three underground downhill friends, the treacherous Bellegarde club is one of the department's top fundraising venues. One of the first to welcome within his ranks the initiators of 1 ^st and 2 ^nd degree. Today, the club keeps this tradition of training, participating in coaching and animation activities, thereby discovering the underground world to the greatest number.
