Where little hands
command big builds.
Sand Crew is a premium indoor sandbox and build-park coming to Lake Forest — a safe, year-round world with a zone for every age, from first scoops to real radio-controlled machines. Join the Crew and be there before the doors open.
Built so you can stop worrying.
Every zone is designed around one question every parent asks first: is my child safe here? Here's the answer, in writing.
- Age-gated zonesEach age has its own fenced, soft-floor zone — toddlers never share the floor with the big kids.
- Low staff-to-child ratiosTrained, background-checked crew on every floor, all the time.
- Sand sanitized dailyHypoallergenic play-sand, sifted and sanitized every single day.
- Secure check-in / outOne-way, wristband-matched pickup — no child leaves with the wrong adult.
- Padded & climate-controlledSoft surfaces, rounded edges, fresh filtered air — 365 days, any weather.
- Fully insuredLicensed, insured and inspected — the boring stuff, handled.
The whole world, mapped out.
A detailed map of the entire build-park — the big sand pit, the RC arena, the café, the party tents and more, from a gated cove for crawlers to a hydraulic arena for grown-ups. Tap any zone to look inside.
The best family day in town — built to be safe.
Safety you can see
Gated, age-separated zones, soft surfaces, low ratios and staff on every floor. The kind of safe that Lake Forest parents notice the second they walk in.
365 days, any weather
Fully indoor and climate-controlled. No 95° afternoons, no rain-outs — just a clean, beautiful place to go again and again.
STEM that feels like play
Build, load, problem-solve and pilot real machines. Engineering instincts, disguised as the best afternoon ever.
A park that grows up with them
From first scoops at 18 months to RC leagues at 12 — and an arena the grown-ups secretly come for. One membership, every age.
Birthdays, done right
Private themed bays, a dedicated host and a build-site cake moment — the OC birthday other parents ask you about.
A real local crew
Memberships, camps and meetups make Sand Crew a place you belong — not a one-time visit. Bring the kids, join the Crew.
Follow the build. Be there first.
We're documenting Sand Crew from empty hangar to opening day. Join the Crew and you'll get every episode — and first claim on founding sessions.
The Build Begins
