‘Play Streets’ program promises fun in the sun
While the COVD-19 pandemic prevents kids and families from enjoying normal summer activities, Sunset Park is one place where youngsters and adults can get some fresh air.
Last week, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a new initiative called Play Streets. Its goal is to provide families with safe, structured activities during weekdays, in partnership with the Fresh Air Fund, Building Healthy Communities and the Police Athletic League.
Starting Thursday, Aug. 6, Sixth Avenue from 44th to 45th Street will be closed for kids to play from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m.
