Play Streets allow residents to temporarily close their street to traffic so that children can play safely on their doorstep.
Play Streets benefit everyone by:
encouraging children to be more active,
bringing neighbours and the community together, and
promoting our commitment to improving air quality.
Setting up a Play Street won't cost you a thing. You can close your street for up to three hours a day for play, no more than once a week in any single street.
It is recommended that Play Streets take place during daylight hours. The street won’t be closed completely, people living on the street can still drive to and from their homes at walking pace.
