We are pleased to announce the 2023 season of PlayStreets - a collaborative initiative sponsored by the Chicago Department of Public Health which supports the development of healthier and stronger communities by creating safe and accessible residential play areas for kids to be active, to learn, and for neighbors to come together.

Community-based organizations that partner with BUILD, Inc. on this important initiative engage Chicago residents with safe, accessible environments where youth and families can be physically active, learn, create, come together, and have fun this summer.

We are excited to announce the following CBOs selected for this year's Playstreets!
