Remember when kids played in the street?
The clock is being turned back at Te Mahia Community Village in Takaanini on Saturday 24 April when it hosts south Auckland’s first Play Streets event.
Play Streets is supported by Auckland Council and has a simple kaupapa.
It aims to:
Emphasise the importance of community partners taking a role in initiatives
Engage community placemakers, suppliers and champions to support events.
The Anzac weekend event brings together organisers and residents concerned about the lack of play opportunities in the area.
Healthy Families lead systems innovator Nicola Dennison says playing on the street with your neighbours used to be a common sight in south Auckland.
