Play Streets

Play Streets are community initiatives that temporarily close certain streets to traffic to create safe spaces for children and families to play, socialize, and engage in physical activities. Organized by local governments or community groups, these events encourage outdoor play by providing areas for games, sports, and creative activities. Play Streets promote community bonding, physical health, and safe environments, fostering a sense of belonging and improving overall quality of life. They are especially important in urban areas where access to parks and open spaces may be limited.
