We are a is a sensory friendly indoor gym and play space for children of ALL abilities. Our safe and inclusive environment was created to allow children with and without special needs to play, learn, socialize, and have fun together!
Sensory processing is how the brain and nervous system integrate and respond to sensory signals from the environment. Signals are received through a person’s senses (touch, sight, taste, smell, sound), then processed by the nervous system and organized into appropriate responses. A simple example is touching something hot and pulling your hand away quickly.


Those that have sensory processing challenges may perceive sensory information differently, and their nervous system may have difficulty organizing the appropriate behavioural response. For example; a light may seem duller than typically perceived, a sound may be much louder than typically expected, or a t-shirt may seem scratchier than normal. As a result of these sensory inputs, the behavioural response of the individual may seem “unexpected” for the current situation.

Most of us have had moments or periods of sensory processing difficulties, however, some individuals are affected on a broader scale that may affect their daily living.

This means that our gym and play equipment have been specially designed to provide multiple and varied opportunities for sensory input and processing. Safety is our main priority, and we have done our best to limit loud, obtrusive noises. We have also created a calming “Chill” area to help with relaxation if the sensory input becomes a bit much.
Most of us have had moments or periods of sensory processing difficulties, however, some individuals are affected on a broader scale that may affect their daily living. Our therapists would be happy to meet with you and your child for a free 15 minute consultation to help asses your child. Call us today to inquire at (604) 385-2883.
More than an indoor gym, more than a clinic.


We Play is the first mix therapy center and open play space within Western Canada, an amalgamation brought to life by our owner and founder – a loving mother and physiotherapist. Seeing the need for a ‘We Play’, she took it upon herself to create a nourishing space for her children and her community, a space where neighbours could get to know each other and where development, growth and understanding were all accomplished through simply having fun!
