PLAYSTREETS
PlayStreets is just one of many initiatives the Department of Public Health leads as part of Healthy Chicago 2.0, a plan to advance health equity across communities in Chicago by bridging service gaps and looking at root causes for disparities in health outcomes. In partnerships with community-based organizations across Chicago, PlayStreets encourages community residents to lead active and healthy lifestyles through the creation of safe, fun, and accessible spaces that promote physical wellness and healthy communities, provide additional health services, and strengthen community relationships by engaging community leaders and its residents. Gads Hill Center, the PlayStreets Delegate Agency, will oversee the implementation of PlayStreets activations within the north, west, and south sides of Chicago.
