Hey friends!
I’ve been asked a few times recently if That Play Place is closing, so I figured it’s best to just answer it here.
The short answer: Nope — not right now.
The longer answer is that when the time does come, it will likely be tied to the end of our lease. As soon as I have a firm end date, I promise you’ll hear it directly from me. I’ll post it everywhere, send emails, and give everyone as much notice as possible.
Since the question keeps coming up, I also want to say this:
I love this place. I built it very intentionally, and being part of this community has been one of the coolest experiences of my life. Through That Play Place we’ve been able to sponsor teams, support nonprofits, watch kids build confidence, see friendships form between both kids and parents, and welcome therapists who are doing incredible work with families.
I’ve learned a lot here too — from permits and payroll to building walls and picking out a paint sprayer. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together, especially with the help of my family and the amazing people around me.
The reality is that operating a space like this comes with a lot of costs, and sometimes the numbers just don’t line up the way you hope they will. From the beginning, my goal was to create a space over here that felt welcoming and accessible for families, and that’s always been more important to me than squeezing every dollar out of it.
That mission hasn’t changed.
For now, That Play Place is still here, still open, and still doing what we set out to do — giving kids a safe, fun place to play and giving parents a place to connect.
When the next chapter comes, you’ll hear it from me first.
As always, if you have questions, my inbox is open. Just remember the same kindness and respect we expect inside the space applies online too.
Have an amazing day.
Cassy
