Why be a part of Woodlawn Swap n Play?
Woodlawn Swap n Play is a family community space in North East Portland open to all types of families. A place where kids can play, parents can have adult conversations and you can swap out–grown toys and kids clothes. As a member, take part in kids music and art time, playgroups, and share your talents and abilities with neighbors and friends here in North East Portland.
How does the swap part work?
Families bring items in usable condition to the space such as toys, clothing, books, and baby gear either to be used in the space, or to be taken home by other families. In exchange for bringing items families may take items to use in their own homes. It is our hope that by swapping instead of buying we not only reduce consumerism and waste as a community but also foster positive relationships among families. Swapping is based on the honor system, which we feel is important as it encourages trust in our community.
Where can my child play?
We have two indoor play areas, and one small outdoor space. The main facility will be open to members during regular swap hours. Three days a week (hopefully more once we acquire more members) the upstairs ballroom space will be open for gross motor play. Our outside area will be open once it is cleaned-up and ready for kids. If you would like to be on either the Ballroom Set-Up Team or Outdoor-Space Team contact beth@woodlawnswapnplay.org.
Everyone Brings Something…
Everyone has different skills, knowledge, ideas, and gifts. Woodlawn Swap n Play is a place to share your talent with other families. As our membership grows it will be exciting to see all the talents that we hold as a community and find ways to share them with one another. If there is a class you would like to start, an art project you would like to help with, or an organizational skill you possess and are willing to share with our community please contact Beth.
