    aboutSectionText

    The Yard is a purpose built indoor and outdoor adventure playground for children and young people with disabilities. The Yard is a safe environment where children and young people can experience play without feeling different. We run family, school and club sessions in the heart of Edinburgh. We have also expanded our service to Dundee operating on Sundays, soon to be opening a Yard in Kirkcaldy. Visiting The Yard is a unique and dynamic adventure experienced every year by more than 2000 children and young people with disabilities. Our doors open daily throughout the year to schools, families, disabled children and young people, their siblings and friends. In the delivery of all our services we think creatively and carefully and use materials and junk that others would cast aside. Our team stand back and reflect as much as they step in to encourage and facilitate inclusive play. This consistent practice has allowed The Yard to build a library of experience that we willingly share

    Passing through the door you enter into another world ...

    When you approach the Yard it looks like many other modern buildings. What comes as a surprise is what greets you inside. You enter into a bright, colourful, space with a kitchen, sensory area, soft play and much more. All of which overlooks the most amazing play area complete with traffics lights, climbing frames, and more. Unexpectedly, all of this is accessible so everyone can join in!
