Have a space to share? Become a host

Kids need room to just be kids. But many families in apartments, condos and rental homes have nowhere safe and private to play.

Meanwhile, beautiful backyards sit empty every single day. Hopscotch connects the two — book a private backyard or play space by the hour.

A portion of every booking supports free and subsidized play sessions for kids in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

Every child deserves a place to play.

Why book a space with Hopscotch?

Not every family has a yard — or wants their own torn up by one more birthday party. Hopscotch gives you a private backyard or play space for exactly the hours you need it, close to home.

Search by city or zip code and browse real backyards, trampolines, and play spaces nearby, with real-time availability — book the exact hours you need instead of guessing.

No monthly fees, no contracts. Pay only for the time you book, whether that's a quick afternoon playdate or a full weekend birthday party.

You get exclusive access to the space for your booking — no strangers, no crowds. Every listing is reviewed by the families who've booked it before you.
