Columbia Play Project is an intentionally planned project designed to expand exploratory play options to children and families throughout our communities. Exploratory play grows healthy children and vibrant communities. The Columbia Play Project exists to be a hub where all families can safely engage, connect, explore and ignite their imaginations.
Columbia Play Project has a three-phase plan to create exploratory play activities focused on the themes of People & Culture, the Natural World, and Engineering and Arts. Phase I includes themed play kits to be used at-home and regular Pop-Up Parties in the Park throughout Clark County, WA. Phase II is a similarly themed mobile museum with removeable exhibits that can be set-up outdoors for socially distanced play, launching at Bricktastic! 2022. Phase III is a full- scale bricks and mortar exploratory play space with indoor and outdoor play areas and permanent and rotating exhibits.
