National Play Street Coalition

The National Play Street Coalition is a collective effort to promote and support temporary, community-led play streets—public roadways temporarily closed to traffic for safe, outdoor play and social interaction. This coalition brings together organizations, local governments, and communities to share resources, best practices, and advocate for policies that prioritize accessible, inclusive public spaces where children and families can engage in active, outdoor activities without traffic concerns. Its goal is to foster healthier, more connected communities by expanding opportunities for play in safe, designated street areas.
