The Playground GymDescriptionThe Playground Gym is a local business, and our core values reflect everything we love about the Portland community. We started the gym with the intention of building a little niche in this city especially for the kids who are growing up here. The Playground Gym is not a chain. Choosing a place for your children to spend active time away from home is a big decision, and we believe that the programs we offer are unique not only to Portland, but also to the many children’s gyms out there already. For us, coaching your children is less a business venture than it is a passion. Our owners, educators, and athletes care deeply about the growth of our clients. We’ve chosen to pursue this project because we know our personal health and happiness as adults is a direct result of having plenty of opportunity to play when we were kids. Contact Information
