Youth Programs

Tiny Tots Hop-in-Play

If you have little ones, crawlers through age 5, and you're looking for a fun way to help them burn off some energy, then this program is perfect for you. Your tiny tots will enjoy a variety of activities, including ride-on toys, push-a-longs, slides, puzzles, musical toys, and more. The play is self-directed, so there are no structured activities. Feel free to drop in anytime during the Hop-in-Play timeframe on Thursdays, from 9:00-11:00 a.m.

Please note that adults must stay onsite and supervise their tots at all times. The activity fee includes one adult/child pair, and the cost is $5/tot per day. You can pay in advance, and there is a maximum of two children per adult. We look forward to seeing you and your tiny tots at our Hop-In Play program!

  • For:  Ages 0-5 years
  • Fee:  $5/child per day
  • Location: Cross Park - Frederickson Community Center

When paying in advance, select the Thursday date(s). A limited number of openings are available for each Thursday. If the date does not appear on the purchasing site, that Thursday is full.



Little Adventurers

Come spend your mornings with Little Adventures at Cross Park! Children ages 3-6 can join other adventurers for a fun-filled socialization experience while developing their motor skills, independence, and love for nature. Inside the community center, they can have a blast running, jumping, and climbing on our engaging toys. During each session, there will be a nature-based activity, and if the weather permits, outdoor activities will also be included.

For the safety of the children, adults must be onsite and supervise their adventurers at all times. The activity fee includes one adult/child pair, so please register your child. If you have additional children, please register them individually, with a maximum of two children per adult. Don't miss out on this opportunity to create unforgettable memories with your little ones while also helping them grow and have fun!
