Today Goodgym volunteer at the Play Street event on Windermere Avenue, N3. This community initiative, supported by the council, temporarily closes part of the road to traffic, creating a safe space for local residents, particularly children, to play and socialise outdoors.

My role was to assist at one of the road barriers. I helped inform approaching drivers about the road closure and explained the purpose of the event.

The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly, with children enjoying the freedom to play games, ride bicycles and scooters, and interact with neighbours in a safe environment. Adults also had the opportunity to socialise and strengthen community connections.

The event was well organised, and residents were supportive of the initiative. It was rewarding to contribute to a project that promotes community engagement, outdoor activity, and safer neighbourhood spaces for families.

Overall, the Play Street was a successful community event, and I was pleased to support local residents in creating a fun and safe environment for everyone to enjoy.
