Vancouver’s Oakridge Park is set to launch a high-tech interactive immersive playground called Wonderground on November 2, 2026. Developed in partnership with Montreal-based studio Moment Factory, the attraction uses motion-responsive technology and floor projections to turn physical movement into gameplay.

How does the digital playground work?

Unlike traditional gaming, this experience requires no handheld controllers, virtual reality headsets, or wearable devices. Instead, players use their own bodies to interact with light and sound. The space features seven distinct games designed to test various skills:

  • Agility and Reflexes: Games like Obstacles, Hotspot, and Target require players to dodge items or hit targets on a digital floor.
  • Teamwork and Strategy: Grid offers a team competition with an unpredictable ball, while Polygon tests reflexes in an elimination-style format.
  • Memory and Logic: Pathfinder and Memory focus on cognitive skills, such as memorizing illuminated paths or matching symbols.

Planning your visit

Wonderground is located on the first floor of the mall's west atrium. Because the experience is highly interactive, visitors are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and running shoes. The facility is designed to be a flexible multimedia space, meaning it can be used for brand pop-up events or even curated dinner parties in the future.

To participate, guests must book a session in advance. Each 45-minute session accommodates up to four players and costs $30 CAD per person. Staff members will be on-site to supervise the games and ensure everything runs smoothly.

A new era for Oakridge Park

The arrival of Wonderground is part of a larger transformation of Oakridge Park into a major cultural and retail destination. The mall has recently seen several high-profile openings, including the first Canadian Armani/Caffè and a new Kith flagship store.

By adding interactive entertainment, the developers aim to blend shopping with communal experiences. Chrystal Burns of QuadReal Property Group noted that the installation represents a vision for the future of public spaces, creating a place where people can
