That this council will explore the feasibility of Play streets in residential areas in Rathfarnham, Templeogue, Firhouse, and Bohernabreena. The Council will promote awareness of play streets and develop a promotional activity pack to support neighbourhoods who wish to learn more and participate in the play street programme, which supports children and families to play outdoors.

REPORT:

The Community Department is aware of a creative space initiative called "A Playful City". We will engage with them and assess the feasibility of delivering a series of schemes designed to promote usage of residential space as play areas with the endeavour of creating more playful, sustainable, healthy, and inclusive public spaces. On completion the Dept will report back to the Area Committee.
