Play streets
Streets free for children: Shortly before World Children's Day, Wellritzstraße will be transformed into a play street on Friday, September 19.
On four afternoons in May, June and September, sections of the streets in Gräselberg, Klarenthal, Biebrich and Westend will be closed to traffic from 2 pm to 6 pm. Instead, the streets will be open to children, young people and families - for exercise, play and encounters.
The campaign focuses on the right to play, leisure and recreation, as enshrined in Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The local children's, youth and district centers offer hands-on activities. Children can drive a slide car, play tag or bounce in bouncy boxes. Anyone who wants to can bring a picnic blanket and take the opportunity to exchange ideas with others.
The next Spielstraßen campaign will take place:
Friday, September 19, Wellritzstraße, Westend
The campaign is coordinated by the Office for Social Work, Youth Work Department. It cordially invites all interested parties to take part and experience the play streets as a meeting place.
