Green Elephant Play

Green Elephant Play is a Black-owned indoor play space located in the heart of the historic Pendleton neighborhood. Founded and owned by Renee and Kameron Laguna, the venue’s mission is to provide a safe, engaging, and environmentally conscious space for childhood exploration, learning, and play. The mission also supports an environment that gives families confidence in surroundings.

The Play Environment

Unlike traditional play spaces filled with excessive plastic and harsh materials, Green Elephant Play prioritizes sustainability, wellness, and thoughtful design. The owners curate a play environment composed of wooden, natural, and eco-friendly materials.

This approach reduces exposure to unnecessary plastics and harmful chemicals. Every detail of the space reflects a commitment to childhood development and environmental responsibility. The overall design shows that fun and sustainability can coexist in a harmonious setting.

From imaginative play zones to hands-on activities that inspire creativity and movement, Green Elephant Play encourages learning through exploration and play. The setting nurtures curiosity and confidence. A warm and welcoming atmosphere fills the environment with laughter.

The space serves as a genuine community hub, where families can connect. Children thrive through meaningful play experiences supported by mindful design choices. Parents gain peace of mind through a health-conscious and intentional play environment.

Private Parties and Events

In addition to daily open play, Green Elephant Play offers private party rentals and special events. These options create a popular destination for birthdays and celebrations. The business also hosts a highly anticipated monthly Parents’ Night Out.

Families can register for a three-hour drop-off experience featuring supervised play, pizza, and a movie. This event provides an enjoyable evening opportunity for adults. Children remain safely entertained in a trusted environment designed for comfort and engagement.

Since opening the doors, Green Elephant Play has become a meaningful addition to the Pendleton community. The space offers more than just a play area and serves as a gathering place rooted in inclusivity, wellness, and sustainability.

A thoughtful approach to play and community impact guides the development of the environment. Renee and Kameron Laguna continue shaping Green Elephant Play into a cherished destination for families across Cincinnati.
