Abstract
BACKGROUND: Active play and physical activity are important for preventing
childhood obesity, building healthy bones and muscles, reducing anxiety and
stress, and increasing self-esteem. Unfortunately, safe and accessible play
places are often lacking in under-resourced communities. Play Streets
(temporary closure of streets) are an understudied intervention that
provide safe places for children, adolescents, and their families to
actively play. This systematic review examines how Play Streets impact
opportunities for children and adolescents to engage in safe active play
and physical activity, and for communities and neighborhoods. Methods for
evaluating Play Streets were also examined.
METHODS: A systematic literature review was conducted in Academic Search
Complete, CINHAL, PsycINFO, PubMED, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
Peer-reviewed intervention studies published worldwide were included if
they were published in English, through December 2017 and documented
free-to-access Play Streets or other temporary spaces that incorporated a
designated area for children and/or adolescents to engage in active play.
Systematic data extraction documented sample, implementation, and
measurement characteristics and outcomes.
RESULTS: Of 180 reviewed abstracts, 6 studies met inclusion criteria.
Studies were conducted in five different countries (n = 2 in U.S.), using
mostly cross-sectional study designs (n = 4). Physical activity outcomes
were measured in half of the studies; one used observational and
self-report measures, and two used device-based and self-report measures.
In general, Play Streets provided safe places for child play, increased
sense of community, and when measured, data suggest increased physical
activity overall and during Play Streets.
CONCLUSIONS: Play Streets can create safe places for children to actively
play, with promise of increasing physical activity and strengthening
community. Given the popularity of Play Streets and the potential impact
for active play, physical activity, and community level benefits, more
rigorous evaluations and systematic reporting of Play Streets' evaluations
are needed.
