Our Purpose
Yahya Playland is being established to make play accessible, safe, and meaningful for children with special needs and to give families a place where they feel seen, supported, and celebrated. Too often, traditional play spaces exclude or overwhelm. We are here to change that. Our centre is built on lived experience, community input, and a deep belief that inclusion is not optional—it is essential.
Our Vision
A world where every child, regardless of ability, can play freely, safely, and joyfully. We envision communities where inclusive design is the norm, not the exception, and where families raising children with diverse needs feel empowered, connected, and welcomed.
Our Mission
To create a purpose-built play centre that offers:
We are not just building a play centre—we are building trust, belonging, and a better future for every child.
Our Founding Story
Yahya Playland was born from lived experience, navigating public spaces with my
own child and seeing how often families like mine were left out.
When I take my son as toddler to public parks or indoor play centres, all the equipment were not
suitable for him, let alone wheelchair bound child. I had to assist him physically when getting on
slide platform and lifting him up to help bounce on trampoline. It has become physically impossible
& unsafe as 12 years old.
I’ve reach out to parent groups, special development schools & therapy service providers and
consensus feedback is the need for a dedicated space that is suitable and safe. Lived frustration,
hearing their hopes and frustrations, gap in the market, I felt the weight of responsibility and
decided to build something better.
This centre is not just a business, it is a place every child deserves to feel joy, play safely, and
belong. Families raising children with special needs should not have to choose between inclusion and
dignity. I have poured my heart into this space, and I am building it with the community, not just
for it.
