About our sand
Did you know "regular" sand commonly found on beaches is not suitable for indoor play use? It contains silica, which can be harmful in an indoor environment.
At DiG PDX, the sand isn’t just any sand—it’s play-grade aragonite sand imported from the Bahamas.
Unlike typical “play sand” you might find outdoors, ours is 100% silica-free, dust-free, and safe for indoor play.
It’s soft, bright, and perfect for digging, building, and creating, while keeping health and cleanliness top of mind.

How is the sand cleaned?
It's often deemed impossible to maintain cleanliness in a sandy environment, but we've taken on the challenge to provide the cleanest sandbox environment possible.
We maintain a daily sanitation routine for the toys in the sandbox, clear away debris regularly, and strictly enforce the prohibition of external toys, food, and drinks within the sandbox area.
We also sanitize the sand daily.
If an accident happens or liquid enters the sandbox, it is easy to scoop it out and toss.
