Street Play

Street play (or 'playing out' sessions) are neighbour-led short road closures, creating a safe space for children to play freely together on their doorstep.

Play streets typically allow children to play freely in a safe space that is lead by their local community. This means children cycle, scoot, skate, chalk, skip, hopscotch, kick a ball around and make up games. They are joyous and active.

Doncaster Council's Public Health team have created a step-by-step guide to help you to organise your own community Street Play session in Doncaster. Download their helpful guide below.

  • Street Play Toolkit (PDF, 1.1 Mb)

Doncaster Council's website has plenty of helpful resources to support you in arranging your own Street Play session, as well as a number of FAQs to help with any queries you may have.
