Not carrying a purse, but a giant backpack stuffed full of snacks and extra clothes? It's me. I'm that mom. All of the Seattle area tot playtimes have different times and days set for them, so it's a toss up which one my son and I will be able to make, if we choose that for our activity of the day. I normally go to the Rainier Beach Community Center, but tot playtime wasn't open that day. Hence our visit to the Rainier Community Center! Their tot playtime is Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10 am - 1 pm. Basically, they convert one of their large gyms to a padded play land suitable for kids 5 and under. And, it's completely free! I like going to these play times because it exposes my 8 month old son to other kids and people. He's in his "stranger danger" phase, which is great but I also don't want him to be shy 100% of the time. He's also in the mix of learning how to crawl, and the play times offer huge, padded open spaces that make a great way for him to practice. They've got bleachers for the parents/caregivers to sit on which is nice. They've also got an attendant or two roaming the room at a time to watch for any kids who try and escape or to make sure nobody leaves anything behind on their way out. My only gripe with this location was that a TON of the toys they had out didn't have batteries (I get it, they're expensive) which means they've got about 50% of the normal appeal they would for any child. I also noticed quite a few of the toys my son tried to go for had food (at least that's what I hope it was) crusted in the handles/crevices like they hadn't been cleaned in a while. For what it is, this is a great activity and center to take your little ones to if you're on the hunt for simple, free fun!

After walking around a bit we saw they had volleyball teams playing and offer swimming at the pool as well. We were able to take advantage of all they offer here for just $5 per person per day. You can also do a monthly pass for $24 but we are not from the area. As we are in a heat wVe, I am very much looking forward to swimming later this evening. This is a nice facility that offers much to the community and I am so glad we had a chance to check it out!

This place reminds me of premodern climbing gyms before the craze and the streamlined decision…read moremaking of big climbing gyms like SBP. And I love it! From the street it does not look like a retail area. And the parking lot is very steep with even loose gravel at some points. But there are a solid amount of parking and during the afternoon when I arrived there was no problem parking. The gym has a lazertag like feel with very large open areas but obstructed views from the many corners, tunnels, caves, and different wall features. The walls go on quite a bit so there is never a lack of wall shapes and inclines. And of course, who could forget the Rotisserie. A giant rolling log that spins as you climb. The start holds are weighted so they are always on the bottom for you to reach, and the moment you grab on, it starts to turn. As you climb more the momentum starts to build up and it starts to feel like a log rolling competition. It adds a whole new layer of strategy and planning to the climb and it was an absolute pleasure. However I will say, I can climb V5's pretty easy and we had a few climbers in our group who were newish and they couldn't even enjoy a single route on that log. The route quality I would rate as medium since some felt like it was heavily catered to niche body types. But you can tell that the whole gym was made by climbing enthusiasts. There are hidden murals, Exit sign holds, dyno walls, traverse problems, etc. The worst thing about the whole gym is the down climbing rocks. 1, they are some form of sharp plastic and don't feel the least bit safe. 2, they fail to provide adequate foot holds to them so some of them are seriously a joke haha. Downstairs there is a whole separate world of locker rooms, sauna, and cold plunge. They also recently reduced the day pass price so I can't even complain about that! Looking forward to my next visit.

I wasn't even near the gym but okay she was just letting me know the rules....I guess. Then the same person told my 7 year old "Do not play near the vending machines" . Well ,okay I mean, what kids aren't fascinated with this amazing machines! Someone stood guard at the gym door checking for food and drinks. I just saw the parents turn back saying "oh, I'm so sorry about that" with their coffee contraband in the hands. The ref that day yelled at the players constantly throughout the game. Absolutely terrible, aggressive and abusive of power. The kids looked shocked. Then they told my son who was PLAYING IN THE GAME that he couldn't drink sparkling water ( I guess regular water was fine?). Wow. I get that we are not from High Point. We have an all white team on both sides from the other side of Seattle. I worked in High Point for years with this community and loved it. I was talking up High Point for days before we got there. It was so sad, c'mon guys we are all humans! Seeing this made my heart hurt. But don't worry, I remained composed and polite.
