What is Los Angeles Play Streets Pilot Program?

The Los Angeles Play Streets Program is in a pilot stage with the goal of becoming a permanent city-wide program. Begun in summer 2015, the Los Angeles Play Streets Program creates a uniquely-LA version of play streets that prioritizes park poor communities, directly engages our play “experts”—the children and families of LA— in design and implementation, and streamlines the application and approval process. The Play Streets Pilot Program is community driven, allowing residents the opportunity to choose how streets can be used as public spaces, temporarily, periodically, or permanently.
