Playgroups

The GPPN sponsors active playgroups for children under the age of five years old. Groups typically meet once a week with occasional evening/weekend family events for some groups. Members of the playgroup generally take turns hosting the group, and some groups schedule special trips to the Grant Park playground, the Atlanta Zoo or other local child-friendly venues from time to time.

To participate in a GPPN playgroup, you must complete the on-line membership registration. Please contact the playgroup coordinator for your child's respective group so that you can participate in your playgroup's activities.  Register to become a member of the GPPN.
