Looking for a way to get kids playing outside safely, right on your doorstep? Street Play is back โ and it’s your chance to turn your road into a safe, traffic-free space where children can run, ride, and play freely.
What is Street Play?
Street Play gives communities the opportunity to temporarily close their roads to traffic for free, creating a safe, local space for children to play and neighbours to connect. Itโs a simple idea that makes a big difference โ encouraging active play, outdoor fun, and stronger communities.
๐๏ธ Upcoming Street Play Weekends:
Whether you’re a parent, a resident, or just someone who loves the idea of bringing the street to life, you’re invited to get involved.
