While awaiting the completion of New York City’s next batch of parks and playgrounds, the Departments of Health & Mental Hygiene, Transportation, and Parks have created Playstreets to jumpstart the childhood obesity epidemic immediately. Playstreets allows communities to open up their streets to pedestrians for play on a recurrent basis. It is a quick and low-cost way to create active play space and is a health measure that directly targets our city’s most important at-risk population—children.
The Street closures outside of the Hattie Carthan Farmers' Market will continue every other week during the months of July, August and September. Please check our website often to see the fitness activities scheduled on PlayStreets dates and for upcoming events in the garden/market:
