Kids Play Room & Family-Friendly Amenities

A Creative Playspace
The kids’ playroom at The Sudbury is designed as a dedicated space where energy and imagination come together. The colorful geometric flooring sets a playful tone, with bold shades of green, pink, blue, and gray arranged in a puzzle-like pattern that sparks creativity right from the start. Floor-to-ceiling windows add sunny ambiance, softened by soft, light-filtering curtains.
Along one side, a wall of warm wood paneling adds balance and texture, anchored by built-in cabinetry and a row of desks with rolling chairs—each station stocked with children’s books and activity supplies that invite reading, drawing, or quiet projects. A large mounted screen offers space for movies or shows, while cubby-style shelving beneath keeps materials neatly organized and within easy reach. There's even a sink for easy clean-up after after art projects.
Soft seating is scattered throughout the room, including oversized bean bags perfect for lounging and whimsical, grass-textured stools that add a touch of fun. Colorful, chalkboard-style panels encourage kids to think of the space as their own canvas.
