OUR STORY

Joel and Kelsey Doolen live in Dallas, Texas with their son, Jimmy, and their daughter, Kendall. Kendall was born in 2022 at only 26 weeks and with Down Syndrome – they quickly learned all of the developmental and physical challenges that can come alongside being a preemie and/or having a special need. They saw the need for an indoor playground in the neighborhood and after Kendall was born they were inspired to create something for kids of all abilities.

The Doolen family is passionate about impacting the special needs community through Down to Play by providing all families a fun, safe, and inclusive environment to let loose.

Sensory Room

As an indoor playground for kids of all abilities, a sensory room is a top priority for Down to Play. Sensory Rooms are vital for children with sensory issues. A sensory room provides children with the individualized sensory input they need to self-regulate to be better prepared for playing and interacting with others.
