Description
Welcome back to another amazing year of Open Streets and more locations. This is a FREE FAMILY FRIENDLY FUN event, coinciding with Walnut St YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day.
Open Streets is a shared front yard, a mobile Central Park, a place for neighbors to connect. Open Streets Wilmington takes place once a month, closing busy streets to motor vehicles and transforming them into safe spaces for people of all ages and abilities to get outside and play. You can walk, bike, run, roller blade, and dance the day away! Enjoy children’s activities, fitness classes and much more!
Open Streets Wilmington is a collaborative initiative of Urban Bike Project, West Side Grows Together, and the Open Streets Wilmington steering committee.
