A Free Play Center in Datong District
With the goal of encouraging play and bonding between parents and children, Taipei City government established a parent-child play center in every Taipei district. All the centers are free, and designed to be warm and friendly environments. The centers are for children 0-6 and their care takers, and include special under 2 only areas with age appropriate toys. The Datong center includes an indoor playset with slide, and space to run around and play. A huge room on the second floor of the center is for 0-2 only, so lots of fun activities for little ones. There is a morning play session from 9:30 AM to 12 PM, and an after play session from 2 PM to 5 PM. The weekend play sessions are 9:30 AM to 11 AM, 1 PM to 2:30 PM, and 3:30 PM to 5 PM.
