Since opening its doors in 2015, SAY Detroit Play Center (SDPC) is rebuilding and empowering one of Detroit’s most-challenged neighborhoods.
Set on nearly 15 acres in the Osborn community in northeast Detroit, the facility was formerly an abandoned City of Detroit recreation center (Lipke Park) until it was targeted by SAY Detroit to become a motivational learning center for Detroit youth with academics as its core.
Young people ages 8 to 18 who want to become members must meet the following expectations:
- Study for at least an hour in the DEEP before doing anything else at the center.
- Set and achieve goals in school, extracurriculars or life and be accountable for their progress.
- Be an active community member in adherence with our core values.
