What is Play Streets? It’s neighbors saying hello, a day free from traffic, and kids making new friends. More importantly, Play Streets is an event hosted by the community FOR the community.
Each Play Streets event is organized by a group of local stakeholders with hands on support, training and resources provided by Sunday Streets to help guide community organizers through the event planning process. San Francisco’s Play Streets 2013 Program helped organizers produce events in four different San Francisco neighborhoods: Western Addition, Bayview, Tenderloin and Excelsior.
Excelsior’s Play Streets event takes place on Lisbon Street between Excelsior and Avalon this Saturday, Sept. 7th from 12 to 4 p.m. The organizers, Monroe Elementary PTA, selected the street directly in front of the school for their event and are encouraging students and their families to participate.
