Portland’s original play date space is still the best! The Playground Gym opens a unique facility to the public during their Open Play times. Open Play times are open to children 1 to 12 yeas old and are a nice way to introduce your child to their equipment, coaches and learning environment. It’s also a fantastic way to escape inclement weather and for you to get on the mat with your child for some fun bonding time.
WHY PLAY?
The power of play is undeniable. Every study done on the topic shows kids develop better & faster when they engage in regular physical activity. Not only does active & creative play make children happier and healthier, but it actively promotes development of the their neurological pathways, positively affecting mood, memory, attentions spans, and behavior.
WHY THE PLAYGROUND GYM?
The Playground Gym was voted Portland’s Best Indoor Play Space for a reason–they take active, creative play very seriously. There are plenty of indoor & outdoor play structures in town focused on traditional equipment like monkey bars, slides, beams and the like. While they have those things too, their space is made up largely of “loose parts” rather than a static play structure or fixed course. With traditional (adult designed) play structures kids too often “consume” play, rather than create it. Adults often have an opinion about how kids should play, something they want to control or prescribe. They've found that kids do it best themselves! Their move-able parts inspire active, creative play. Participants can invent purposeful play on their own terms, engaging kids’ creative sides, as well as challenging their physical skills. They can create their own games, engineer their own obstacle courses and challenge themselves in ways that no other place can reproduce.
