Stomping Grounds is a community clubhouse for parents, kids, and all the wonderful people that make up their village. With great food, drinks, and indoor and outdoor play, we're creating a family-first space for all seasons. Open exactly when you need space for playdates, meet ups, work calls, or just a quick snack and a coffee.
Not exactly. Railgarten was beloved by many, us included. It was a great place to let your kids run around, have a bite and a drink, and relax with friends, and we hope to help families make similar memories in the future. Unlike Railgarten, Stomping Grounds will be focused specifically on creating a space for kids and for everyone with a kid in their lives.
Yes, but that doesn’t mean you have to have a child living in your household. All grandparents, babysitters, cousins, cool aunts, fun uncles, and kid-adjacent adults are welcome. Stomping Grounds is for everyone who is a part of the village that is required to raise our little ones.
Safety is our number one priority as we work to renovate. Cameras and full-time security, improved fencing, all new play spaces, and easy parking are immediate goals. Sadly, that means no more nails to hammer into stumps, and no more volleyball court sand. All the shipping containers are out (wanna buy one?) and everything is getting a glow up.
A membership to Stomping Grounds will allow free access any time we’re open, discounts on food and drinks as well as birthday parties and other reservations, free special activities, and member-only events. We believe that memberships should be family-centric rather than a way to drive extra revenue, so three adults and all the kids in your household will be included in one membership.
Yes! With a bit of a redesign, we’ll be able to add quite a few new spaces in the back entering and exiting down the side street (Blythe) to the east.
We're planning to add a rentable conference room for hybrid and remote working parents, self-serve taps for coffee, kombucha, tea, and soda, a private party room, and much more. Stay tuned for news about our on-site restaurant as well!
One of the things that has motivated us from the beginning is that nothing is open for parents until 9am, and most activities for kids close by 5pm. No more! We’ll be built around parents' schedules (and ours, we’re all parents, too!). We'll be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week.
Being a parent shouldn’t be so hard, and we want to be part of the solution. Join us as we work toward making Memphis the best place in the world to raise a family.
