Play Streets

We love play streets! Whether you close your street to traffic as a one-off, or make it a regular thing, they are an enjoyable way to create a few hours when children and adults can play and socialise in front of their flats and houses without having to worry about the traffic.

The benefits of play streets are well documented with health, happiness and a sense of belonging at the heart of their positive effects on children and communities.

Luckily, Bridgend County Borough Council have made it very easy to organise a play street of your own and there is a wealth of information on Play Wales and Playing Out websites. This includes webinars and articles about the benefits to children, templates for letters, invitations, risk assessments and much more.
