Ashmore Road Comes Alive: Play Day Was A Roaring Success!
Bikes, ball games, chalk art and an epic tug of war! Ashmore Road Play Street was buzzing, last Wednesday 5th August, as ActiveWestminster and Play England and Play Their Way brought free, open-air fun to families across the community!
A street full of play
No sign-up, no fuss, just local families turning up, joining in and making memories together. From scooters whizzing past to pavement art taking shape, the street transformed into a playground for the afternoon, proving that all you really need for a brilliant day out is some open space and a sense of fun.
A huge thank you to our partners Everyone Active, Cycle Confident, Change4Life and Play England and Play Their Way, who brought the energy, activities and expertise that made the day so special.
Days like this matter more than ever. Play England, alongside Play Their Way, is calling on the government to revive a National Play Strategy, making the case that free, accessible play needs long-term investment and support, not just one day a year. Ashmore Road is a small snapshot of what that could look like across the country. Read the full press release here to find out more.
