Its layout and equipment allow for a variety of games: rocks to climb, driftwood to create a path, a tunnel to hide in and crawl through, beach sand to play with, a vegetable garden space, a rope game for jumping, a space in which to put on a show, etc. The materials used to construct the Island of volcanoes give it a natural look: grass, pebbles, sand, wood, rocks, plants, etc. A guardrail along Rue Marquette and the closure of Rue De Drucourt (presently on trial) allow users to take advantage of the space in complete safety.

The current installations are temporary and allow for experimenting with this new type of installation geared towards free play. Users were consulted for purposes of changing and improving the space.
