About
Unless you join, Thursday morning is the only time you can play here. St Johns Swapnplay is a neighborhood nonprofit that runs on monthly memberships: member families let themselves in with their own door code whenever it is open, and everyone else comes to the weekly drop-in session, which is free on the first Thursday of each month. The two swapping rooms are for members only: shelves of outgrown clothes, gear, toys and books that member families leave and take for free.
The play space is for children up to seven, in rooms that each have a job: a cove where babies work on tummy time and pulling up, a central room of ride-on toys and an Imagination Playground set for building, a paint and play-dough room, a dress-up and kitchen room, and a reading loft. Outside is an enclosed yard with a dig pit, two slides, a rope bridge and a climbing dome. Older children come only with a younger sibling.
Reviewers write about the community as much as the play space: friends made, support for parents new to all of it, families coming since babyhood. It is nut-free, you pack out your own diapers, and it sits on four TriMet bus lines.
