A great place for families to meet and play!

The Melrose Family Room is a cooperative of families with young children.

The Melrose Family Room (MFR) was established in October 1988 as a gathering place for families of infants and young children through age six. The room provides space for families to play, talk, and get to know other families from Melrose and the surrounding communities. There are assorted toys, equipment, games, arts & crafts activities and snacks in the room.

We also schedule regular events for our member community to connect and host private parties for members. Take a look at our upcoming events highlights below or see our Events page for a complete list of current and past events.

The MFR is a not-for-profit community organization run entirely by its members and volunteer board. To learn more and join, please see our About Us and Membership pages.
