Play Streets come to Humboldt Street

Bushwick now has a Play Street this summer.

Last week, the city launched a new initiative, called Play Streets, that provide families and kids with safe, structured activities during weekdays on certain streets.

In Bushwick, the Play Street will be Humboldt Street from Moore Street to Varet Street. It will be in effect on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from noon to 5 p.m.

The partnering organization administering it will be the Police Athletic League. That means they will set up barricades, post signage and restore the Open Street conditions after progrmaming.

Kids can participate in activities like arts and crafts, board games, sports drills, reading corners, dance classes, cardio, yoga and more.

All programming will adhere to social distancing rules.
