David’s Clubhouse Opens in Downtown Ottawa, Creating Inclusive Indoor Play Space for Children and Families
David’s Clubhouse, a nonprofit indoor playground designed for inclusive play, has opened in downtown Ottawa, Illinois. Located at 110 W Jefferson Street in the historic Ottawa Times building, the space welcomes children of all abilities and provides sensory-friendly features that help ensure every child can enjoy playing together.
The organization was founded by Michael Brunner and Vanessa Roddam and was inspired by their son, David, the clubhouse’s namesake. Their goal was to create a joyful place where families could gather and children could explore, move, and play in an environment designed to be welcoming for everyone.
David’s Clubhouse operates weekdays from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM and weekends from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and also offers birthday parties and group visits including field trips. The opening of David’s Clubhouse was recently featured in the USA TODAY Network, highlighting the new space’s commitment to inclusive play and community support.
