For rural residents, combining Play Streets opportunities with other
community activities can help to make them more accessible.
The communities received mini-grants to use to purchase equipment for free play, rent equipment and purchase
snacks (we encouraged healthy snacks) for four Play Streets
during the summer months. We studied (https://tinyurl.
com/yax6bsrh) how each community implemented the
Play Streets, including how they were advertised, available
activities and when they were held. We used a popular and
valid tool for observing physical activity, called SOPARC
(System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities), and pedometers to measure how active kids and adults
were at the Play Streets. We also completed a systematic
review of the peer-reviewed and " grey " literature to document what we know about Play Streets and their impacts on
play for children, physical activity levels and communities.
The concept of " Play Streets " has
emerged as a way to promote outdoor
play and physical activity for children in
neighborhoods without access to safe,
well-maintained parks and playgrounds.
The literature review evaluated hundreds of documents, and,
based on 13 peer-reviewed articles and 36 reports/documents
that met our inclusion criteria, we found the following:
* Play Streets have mainly been implemented in cities and suburban areas.
* Play Streets were described as safe places for children to play
because of reduced traffic and increased supervision.
* Only a few studies measured physical activity as an outcome.
* Play Streets strengthen communities and increase social interactions.
* Some residents complained about traffic detours and noise on
the days that Play Streets were held.
* Some organizations that hosted Play Streets hope they can
decrease crime and violence among adolescents.
Preliminary Findings
While we are still in the early stages of analyzing the data from
the four communities, our preliminary findings are that Play
Streets are a good way to get kids active in rural communities.
Each of the Play Streets included a variety of activities using
