The Green Street Challenge creates opportunities for residents in local communities to celebrate the importance of outdoor, unstructured play. For each event, sod is laid down on a prominent street in a participating community across Ontario, effectively creating a temporary park to be enjoyed.
The Green Street Challenges are made possible due to a partnership between Landscape Ontario members, the National Sod Growers Association (NSGA) members, and Come Alive Outside.
In 2019, Green Street Challenges will take place in the following communities:
