Big Play Day 2026

Registration is encouraged so we can plan for attendance and keep you informed with event updates. Walk-ins are allowed.

No check-in is required. Once you arrive, you are free to explore activities, games, and entertainment throughout the event.

Big Play Day is open to everyone. Families, children, teens, and adults of all ages are welcome.

We recommend bringing sunscreen, comfortable clothing for movement and play, and water.

Pets are allowed; however, our furry friends should remain on a harness. North End Dog Park is located on this street for unharnessed play.

Outside food and drink are permitted. We will also have food and beverage options on-site, available for purchase.

Yes, we will have a cool-down space and a limited supply of noise suppression headphones.

Big Play Day is wheelchair accessible, including entry points, the street, restrooms, and most event areas. Please note that some individual activities may not be accessible to all guests. Our staff and volunteers will be available to assist and guide families to the activities that best meet their needs.

We provide Everyone Plays wristbands for event attendees who have trouble with long lines and need accommodations. You can receive one of these at our information table or our Cool Down Zone.

In the case of severe weather, updates will be shared with registered attendees by email. There won’t be any rain dates.
