Wee Bairns Play Area
Located behind the Metcalfe Center in the southeast corner of the property
The Glengarry Highland Games is pleased to have a designated children's play area for Wee Bairns.
This has become very popular over the last few years. It is fun for any age group, although mostly enjoyed by toddlers to age 12, but many teenagers, parents and grandparents frequent the area for entertainment.
Parents, guardians, and caregivers must accompany their children and cannot leave them in the play area alone.
A large, tented area provides shade with a bathroom and wash station on site.
We have increased the entertainment this year.
Main site is open 9:00am to 4:00pm
Friday and Saturday
The fantastic face painters are available 11:00am to 4:00pm both days
