Their Story

Little visitors to Bristol Family YMCA now have their own place to exercise. More importantly, it is more fun than a treadmill. This is exactly what a kids’ gym should be — a fun place that children can’t get enough of.

Bristol YMCA wanted to build a visually inspiring active play area accessible to all, including kids with special needs, teens, and their parents. Working side by side with John Mack, Chief Operation Officer of Bristol YMCA, a dedicated Soft Play team designed a playground that integrated many active, co-play, and inclusive play opportunities for kids of all ages and abilities.

The result was a play structure that keeps kids busy and active while their parents enjoy the amenities of the YMCA. A four-story playground goes almost to the ceiling. It is an inspiration for kids to stay active and learn to play together.

Their Goal

Create a visually inspiring active play area that promotes inclusive play opportunities.
