We love sensory friendly days! 💜
Join us for 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 at the Oak Ridge Outdoor Pool!
We're creating a more inclusive, low-stimulation swim experience for families with members who have sensory processing disorders.
Dates: June 13 & July 11
Time: 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
No ticket required
During these special swim sessions, fountains will be turned off, and there will be no whistles or horns, helping create a calmer environment for everyone to enjoy the pool.
Please note that parking will be limited due to ongoing construction. We look forward to welcoming your family for a relaxing morning at the pool!
Creating an event people genuinely want to stay at is often about the details most people overlook.
At Xander’s Place, our sensory friendly spaces help create a more comfortable and inclusive experience for guests of all ages and needs making it easier for more families to relax, engage, and fully enjoy your event.
Because when people feel considered, they tend to stay longer, connect deeper, and leave with a better experience overall. ✨
If you’re planning a community event, private gathering, or celebration, we’d love to help you create a space that feels good for everyone.
