Friends for your kids, close to home
Kids need friends they can actually see: at the park on Saturday, down the street, at the next meetup. That gets hard after a move, over a long summer, or when the families you know live across town. Sandlot helps parents find other families nearby and set up simple, in-person playdates at parks and local places, so kids get to play with kids their age and parents get to know the families around them.
How it works
- Create a free parent account and add your kids by nickname and age group.
- Add your ZIP code so you see playdates and toys from families close to you.
- Join a playdate, or host one at a park or a local place. Either parent can host.
- RSVP for the kids you are bringing, then show your door ticket and check in on the day.
What families can do on Sandlot
- Host or join playdates. Facility event: at a verified place with other families. Playground / park: open outdoor playdate. Your circle: invite a whole circle at once. One-on-one: just your family + one other.
- Meet kids their age. Meetups are sorted by age group, and you can see how many families and kids are going.
- Stay in touch. Connect with families you meet and group them into circles for the next playdate.
- Swap toys. List fidgets, plushies, books, building sets, games, or outdoor toys with photos, browse what families nearby have listed, offer a trade, and swap in person at a meetup.
- Find a park. Search public parks with playgrounds and open directions in Google Maps or Apple Maps, no account needed. Parks around Conyers and Rockdale County, Georgia are checked by hand.
- Bring your friends. Share a personal invite link with families you already know.
Built for parents, careful with kids
- Parents only have accounts. Kids never get a login.
- Sandlot never asks for a child's last name, birthday, photo, or address.
- Playdates happen in person. Hosts agree to be present and keep at least one grown-up for every six kids.
- Places other parents add are marked as not yet verified, and parents stay on-site there.
- Every parent can report or block another account.
- Sandlot never sells your data or uses it to advertise to you.
