Rainy day? Post-swim treat? Somewhere warm and welcoming to let them burn off steam? The brand new mini soft play at Energise Leisure Centre is now open and ready for action. Designed especially for younger children, this bright, two-storey indoor play space is a safe, fun place for them to crawl/slide/run off some energy. It’s a great addition to York’s soft play offerings.
What to Expect
This isn’t just a corner with a few soft shapes: Energise has created a purpose-built, two-level mini play zone that feels exciting for children but reassuring for grown-ups. Inside, you’ll find:
Ball Splash Area – The twin-lane slide is bound to be popular. Who wouldn’t want to zoom alongside their little friend, straight into a ball pool?
Mini Trampoline – Kids adore trampolines, and this mini trampoline has been designed with younger jumpers in mind. It’s a safe space to bounce and burn off that extra energy before tea time.
Why Families Will Love It
If you’ve ever tried to entertain a toddler on a drizzly afternoon, you’ll know how valuable a good soft play can be. York has a few soft play options, and this one ticks all the boxes:
- – Safe, enclosed environment designed for younger children
- – Plenty of opportunities for climbing, sliding and active play
- – All under one roof at a well-loved York leisure centre
And because it’s at Energise, you can easily pair a play session with swimming, the gym or a class.
