Playing Out

Temporary play streets (or ‘playing out’ sessions) are short road closures, usually organised by neighbours on their own street, creating a safe space for children to play out together on their doorstep.

Play streets typically allow children to play freely, without organised games or activities*. In practice, this means children cycle, scoot, skate, chalk, skip, hopscotch, kick a ball around and make up games. They are joyous and active!
