Located about 5 minutes away from the Oakland Zoo, Juniper Corner occupies 5,000 square feet of beautiful indoor play opportunities for toddlers and preschoolers.
As a non-profit, Juniper Corner began serving the community with mobile play events at parks and other outdoor spaces. Now, you can visit this playspace on a drop-in basis, six days per week. (It is closed on Thursdays.)
Key features include a mini-town with a bank, market, and library; a climbable play structure and a turf field for big motor activity; craft and building areas with fresh supplies for children to explore.
A real cafe onsite allows parents to purchase snacks.
“This place will keep your little ones entertained for hours,” says San Leandro mom Hannah Schneider, who visited with her toddler.
