Sensory Playground is an indoor play opportunity for kids with diverse sensory, attention, and social needs.
For some children, our regular Indoor Playgrounds may be a bit overwhelming – too busy, loud, or bright. Our Sensory Playground sessions are designed for children with special educational needs and disabilities to access gymnastics in their own way and at their favored speed! Children with autism, down syndrome, ADHD, cerebral palsy or any other moderate to severe exceptionality who would benefit from a quieter atmosphere, fewer sensory distractions and extra gym adaptations are welcome to attend.
Just like Indoor Playground, Sensory Playground is a single-serving event (register / attend only the events you want to come to!) in an open-gym style. Participants can play in their own way, at their own speed (following our safety rules, of course) on all our fun equipment; including soft foam pits, squishy mats, bouncy trampolines, low balance beams, a big springy floor, bars for hanging, and so much more!
Currently Sensory Playground is offered at our Lake City (28th Ave) and Burien locations on a bi-weekly schedule:
- Lake City: every other Saturday, 12:30-1:30pm
- Burien: every other Sunday, 12:45-1:45pm
- Adult / caregiver participation is required to help ensure safe participation.

Indoor Playground
The best place I've yet found in Seattle to bring a young kid where they can do just about whatever they want. This place would have been a dream when I was a kid. Foam pits, trampolines, bouncy floors, rope swings, rings, and large foam blocks in vinyl for climbing.
