PLAYING OUT MAPLE AVENUE

Every 2nd Tuesday of the month from 4-5pm Maple Avenue is closed to traffic so that children can play safely on the road and residents can meet up with their neighbours. Play is vital for children's physical and emotional development and for their social learning and the street is a blank canvas that promotes truly child-led free play, providing important benefits over structured, organised activities
