For keiki and those keiki at heart, let’s play on the streets!

Below is a simple planning process to host your own event.

  • Builds Community Connections

    Play Streets bring neighbors together in a safe, shared space, creating opportunities to meet, socialize, and strengthen relationships. By connecting people of all ages, these events help foster a sense of belonging and pride in your neighborhood.

  • Promotes Active Play

    Play Streets provide safe, traffic-free streets where children, teens, and adults can be active and have fun. From games and sports to creative movement and intergenerational play, these events encourage healthy lifestyles and joyful physical activity.

  • Supports Local Engagement

    By involving families, volunteers, and local organizations, PlayStreets strengthen community participation and collaboration. Residents get a chance to lead activities, share resources, and contribute to a vibrant, connected neighborhood.

Benefits of Play Streets

Studies show that a high percentage of keiki enjoy Play Streets events that it provided keiki the opportunity to meet physical activity recommendations they would not otherwise meet. In addition to increased physical activity levels, Play Streets also created safe play opportunities for children and increased connections between neighbors and communities.
