Open Streets Minneapolis

  1. Updates

Playworks is partnering with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota and the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition for Open Streets Minneapolis. We’re providing opportunities for kids and families to engage in safe, healthy play as this street festival moves around the neighborhoods of Minneapolis.  Play stations include four square, castle ball, jump rope and hoola hoops.

You can still join us for a day of play on Saturday, September 21, 2013 on Lowry Ave N. between Washburn and Lyndale. More information can be found at www.openstreetsmpls.com.
