The Kid Zone

Looking for a way to keep your little ones entertained and engaged? We designed our FREE Kid Zone to keep the kiddos occupied mentally and physically. The Kid Zone is where creativity meets playfulness, and adventure awaits around every corner.

The Kid Zone is located INSIDE the tennis courts.

Games Galore: The fun doesn’t stop at crafts. Our Kid Zone also boasts an incredible selection of games that will keep your children active and entertained. From classic ball games to exciting outdoor challenges, there’s something for every age and interest.

Our friends at West Chatham YMCA are going to be inside the kid zone facilitating healthy activities, games and FUN.
