Playstreets

The City of Albany Department of Recreation Commissioner Jonathan Jones started the PlayStreets initiative in 2020 as a way to create safe spaces for families and kids to recreate and gather in the comfort of their own neighborhoods during the summer. These events are designed to keep Albany activated and be the change we hope to see in our community. Each PlayStreets event includes activities, snacks and partnerships with community organizations and businesses.
