26 May 2024 – Temporary play streets for World Play Day

From 14:00 to 18:00, sections of Bunsenstraße in Biebrich, Klosterweg in Klarenthal and Villacher Straße on Gräselberg will be closed to car traffic. These areas can therefore be used by children, young people and adult residents. “We invite all families to make use of these road sections and enjoy themselves. Furthermore, I call on all children and young people to take over the sections by rollerblading, skateboarding, cycling, playing tag or decorating with chalk,” explains Youth and Social Affairs Councillor Dr. Patricia Becher.

The children’s, youth and community centres will offer hands-on activities at the affected locations. In Adolfsallee on Platz der Kinderrechte, the playmobile will provide various opportunities to get active. In addition, the Deutscher Kinderschutzbund invites you to a creative station.

Two days later, on Tuesday, 28 May, children and their families are invited to the Westend in the afternoon to take over a section of Wellritzstraße with skipping ropes, scooters and bikes or to join in the activities offered by the Kinderzentrum Wellritzhof.
