Play Days are hosted by Everybody Gets to Play to allow kids to instinctively, creatively and energetically have fun. It is a celebration of community to celebrate play, encourage the benefits of year-round play and support the development of healthy, active and creative children.
These drop-in, one hundred per cent free events are designed for kids of all ages (and yes, parents, guardians and grandparents are welcome to join in the fun too!). Whether your child is a chalk artist in training, a block tower engineer, or a hula-hooping legend Summer Play Days offer something for everyone – with zero cost, zero pressure and maximum imagination.
Each Play Day is packed with fun, screen-free, hands-on activities that encourage kids to explore, invent and connect. Fro nature play to fort building, crafts, giant games and obstacle courses – there's no schedule, no sign-up and no rules on how to play. Simply show up and let your imagination lead the way.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to bring water bottles, wear comfy clothes and prepare for lots of smiles, laughter and maybe even a glitter tattoo or two.
In case of inclement weather, the event may be cancelled. A notice will be posted on this page and on Facebook no later than two hours prior to the event. We also invite you to RSVP to our Facebook events.
In addition to Play Days, many free activities and experiences are available throughout the County all year long. Visit the free activities web page to see details.
