Why host a Play Street?
Some of the benefits of Play Streets include:
- Children can spend more time playing outside and being physically active
- Children and adults can get to know their neighbours better
- Support mental health and wellbeing, in particular for more isolated residents, by providing an opportunity for people to interact outside their homes
- Temporarily creating a nicer and safer street, with lots of activities taking place
- Temporarily improving air quality on the street
- People can safely walk and cycle on a traffic-free street
