Treehouse Room at Westbrook Community Center- Westbrook, ME

Open Gym

Monday-Friday 8:00a-1:00p. $3 per kid. Adults free.

While it’s easy to get here and parking is plentiful. Finding the Treehouse Room is a puzzle, especially if you grab a parking spot in the front. Parking on the side is the shorter distance but usually this lot is full.

When you get closer to the room there is a help desk. The desk will point you in the direction of the room and it’s easy to find after that. There are cubbies for you store your shoes and other belongings, although most leave their shoes but bring their bags in.

Inside the room is three or four bounce house. Some with hoops, some with slides and other just plain old bounce houses. It doesn’t seem like much for houses but we had my 4y birthday party here and we spent three hours here and easily could’ve stayed longer if we weren’t on a time block. We have gone before not as a party and idk if three hours would’ve been possible those times. The times other than the party, there were others but it was not super busy and there isn’t a guarantee there will be other kids there to jump with your kids so you might find yourself inside with them. My 11m old at the time enjoyed the houses when no other kids were inside or if the kids inside were a little gentler with jumping.

Aside from the houses, there isn’t much else to do. There’s a medium size, wooden climbing structure. It has a way up by handle bars. It leads to no where except confidence in your child that they made it to the top. There’s a swing attached to this structure and a small slide on one side. [Updated 10/10/23] As of this date, they have added another climbing structure. It’s not toddler friendly but the older kids can easily do it. Theres a rope ladder for climbing to a small set of handlebars. A net climbing up is next to that and it’s meets a bar ladder on the end. Across from the ladder is hanging ropes to swing or do flips on! They have also added sensory boards! One is in the shape of a caterpillar and it has knobs for moving, locks for unlocking and locking and inside is difficult things to feel. The other board is an airplane it has the same type of things, gears, magnets and knobs.

There is some random groceries and grocery cart. Some tunnels and tents for crawlers to crawl through. A small corner with few books.

This is a place to kill time but don’t expect too much unless your kids is an avid jumper and reallllly reallllly loves bounce houses. I’m sure if you wanted to research open swim times and other activities that WCC does you could plan to go to the Tree House around that and it’d be much more worth it. But if you’re just looking to meet up with some other moms for an hour or so while your littles crawl around or jump to touch the ceiling this place will satisfy you and more importantly your kids. I think ages 2-6 are best for this place but if you have baby siblings there are safe spots and areas to let them explore, if you aren’t comfortable with them inside the bounce houses.
