Info

PlayStreets is a Philadelphia Parks & Recreation summer program that closes a neighborhood block to traffic so youth have a safe, car-free place to play outdoors. At this Palethorp Street site, children and teens ages 18 and under can drop in for free lunches or snacks and enjoy supervised outdoor games, sports, and free play equipment such as hula hoops, balls, jump ropes, and chalk provided by the program. A community volunteer serves as the on-site block supervisor each day while school is out, and there is no registration, no ID check, and no questions asked for youth to join.
