Greetings, Streetplayers….
Greetings, Streetplayers.
I’m part of a group that is setting up a “play street” in Jackson Heights, Queens. We’re making one block of 78th Street (next to Travers Park) car-free every Sunday between now and Thanksgiving.
Over the long run, we’re very interested in exploring ways to promote traditional street games on our play street. (In the near-term, the population of kids in the area is largely a bit too young for most of these games). We’d also like to find ways to demonstrate that a play street isn’t just for kids, perhaps by organizing an adult stickball game, or other such event.
We’d like to invite this community over to play with us, and organize or demonstrate street games on our block.
If you’re interested, please contact us at 78thplaystreet [at] gmail [dot] com
Thank you!
