Play Streets Reports and Resources


Play Streets create a temporary space for young people to play, turning the city’s streets into a safe, engaging space to be active. During a Play Street, local streets are officially closed to traffic and open to people at regularly scheduled times.

T.A. offers a wealth of resources to equip organizers with the materials and information to run a successful Play Street. These resources have been developed with direct input from experienced Play Street organizers and partners. They detail the entire process from the permit application all the way to activity planning and logistics.
