Introducing Ryleigh's Place to Truro, NS

Hey everybody, 

Looking for a place to play has been a long road. I'm a dad, and I have a three year old who loves to run, climb and jump as long as she is awake. As you may have guessed from my title, her name is Ryleigh. Ryleigh's Mom and I have been driving Ryleigh all over the place in search of places to play ever since she was old enough to walk. HRM, Stellarton and even down to Greenwood once, looking for things to do. It was sitting in Roo's Playhouse in Greenwood that got me thinking about bringing a spot like this to Truro. 

Ryleigh loves the park!  We have lots of those in Colchester County. You can't enjoy the park in January though. She also loves to bounce. Seeing her face when we go to a play centre is great! I imagine you can relate to that feeling with the children in your life. 

18 months ago I began looking at the cost of buying some equipment and opening a play land of my own. There was so much to look at. What kind of location?  Which type of equipment will the children like the most? The numbers were adding up quickly and I hadn't looked at everything yet. 

I thought I had a good idea of what I was going to do so I started asking questions. I met some very helpful people who were able point me in the right direction and it seemed by chance someone got so interested in the industry they did some research of their own. What they found moved Ryleigh's Place forward from research to action steps. 

The past few months have been full of emails and negotiations, but now the equipment belongs to Ryleigh's Place and we will be setting it up soon. We'll be adding some bouncy castles and some games to the mix to make sure there is always a variety of activities. Check back often to this blog and our website for updates and pictures. Make sure to search us on indiegogo.com as well, for your chance to get some early deals for playtime or maybe get your children a membership so they can play whenever the mood strikes. 

I'm excited to meet all of you reading this blog very soon. Feel free to email me for more info anytime at ryleighsplace@outlook.com. Follow us on Twitter @ryleighsplace and like us on Facebook too. 

Come play at Ryleigh's Place!
