Play Space Information

We know how hard it can be to find a safe, clean space outside the home where young children can play and explore, as well as meet new friends. Local families caring for young children often describe feeling isolated, as though they are "parenting on an island". The Play Space opened its doors in 2017 to fill this important community need, providing a place for more play in Cayuga County all year long. The Play Space was created by ABC Cayuga, a 501-C 3 non-profit organization that began as a community collaborative in 2011 with the goal of improving the healthy development of young children in Cayuga County. ABC Cayuga was founded on the belief that young children need a nurturing community environment to thrive and to meet their developmental milestones. Since its inception, the organization has been instrumental in initiating, supporting and promoting many community programs and activities aimed at mobilizing community partners to build family strengths and promote healthy development.
