The Lakewood Family Room is a daytime gathering place for parents, grandparents, nannies, and caregivers with children aged 0 to 6. Located in the basement of Cove Community Center, the Family Room offers a clean, colorful, and spacious space for kids to play together and for caregivers to meet, become friends, learn new skills, and share experiences. All programs are free to Lakewood residents.
The Family Room offers a variety of supportive services for different stages of parenting and childhood. Read more about the Family Room’s programs and find our program calendar below.
Open drop-in sessions are held throughout the week at different times to accommodate caregivers’ varying schedules. Participants can come to the Family Room where kids can play together with toys and games, read books, and get out of the house.
During the spring, summer, and fall months, some drop-in sessions are held outdoors at Cove Park as long as weather permits.
