We had an awsome week of outdoor risky play with many pop up sessions on offer. The children ran, played, made friends, navigated tricky times, saw old friends, challenged themselves and overcame fears and thoroughly enjoyed the fabulous October weather.

Here are some lovely comments about thier experience.

THANK YOU to HAF for funding us.
Outdoor healthy play helps create healthy appetites. The 2 go hand in hand ✋️. Healthy options enjoyed and energy restored. ✨️

See you today ready to play! 😁😈💪👀🧚‍♀️🕺💃

That was a fabulous Halloween/Autumn celebration. We welcomed over 150.
Riaz cooked delicious chicken biriani/sweet rice and yogurt for all.
Friut and little treats for desert. 🧡🖤🧡🖤

We played monster statues with a giant pumpkin tickling us all. Musical monster chairs with a giant Telly Tubby teasing us and a giant pumpkin squashing us. 'Pass the parcel to the monster on your left' , whilst being tickled.😀
Many happy winners inspite of all the obstacles!.🎃

What makes where you live a great place to play? 💚

As part of Sheffield City Council’s Play Streets pilot project, we’ve supported residents across Sheffield to turn their streets into places where children can play freely and neighbours can come together.

Known as ‘playing out’, Play Streets involve short, resident-led road closures that give children the freedom to play on their own street, while creating opportunities for neighbours to meet, connect and get to know one another (find out more about how you can start one on your street via our website!)

We've heard from residents who've run Play Streets this year about how, not only do they provide safe streets for children to play on, but also been a great place for neighbours to meet, share baked goods, and connect! 🧁

Because when we make space for play, we make space for friendships, belonging and stronger communities, too. 💚

This , we’re celebrating the people and places that help make Sheffield a great place to grow, play and belong.

💬 What would make your street a better place to play?
