St Johns Swapnplay

We love St. John’s Swapnplay! Our family joined about two years ago. It’s a very nice clean place that is continually working to improve and there are lots of fun family events throughout the year. The equipment, toys and materials are high quality and fun for kids. There are lots of learning and exploring opportunities throughout the multiple indoor rooms and the outside play area. If you’ve got a baby 6 months and up I’d highly recommend joining and getting there! (There are perks to joining earlier like getting access to trading zone and a Facebook group where people offer stuff up and you can ask for needs.) Membership is worth it even if you go twice a month! We met a lot of wonderful friends and it was a lifesaver to connect with other parents. Both indoor and outdoor play areas are great! Wish everyone had access to a place like this- it’s truly special!

I've heard so many good things about it. I went today as a visitor w my daughter. What a great place. I love the concept. I love the giving. I love the idea of helping out individuals, and families. A play area to bring your child(s). Volunteer some time. I just love it.

Swap’ you’ve really shown up in supporting PAT during our strike movement for safer schools for PDX families! You’ve opened your doors and own mouths and hearts to support are many families, teachers with kids on this strike. You’re always a hub in our community for connection and gathering and safety. We appreciate your solidarity and support now and always. Thank you so much- James John Elementary Educators

I cried from joy the first time I walked in. Overwhelmingly amazing! More neighborhoods need places like these! Such an easy place to hang with your kids and feel like an A+ parent.

Oh my goodness, this space is so special. The community is awesome. The space is clean and well laid out. Wish there were more spots like this in SE PDX!
