Event Details

A new downtown trail where you can play along the way! In 2018 the PLAY Walk received funding from KaBOOM! and the Ralph C. Wilson
Foundation to continue to make Rochester a more playable City. It will create a playful trail downtown between the Strong Museum of Play and the Central Library. The idea for this project came from a survey the Healthi Kids coalition did in 2016. 41% of youth surveyed said they wanted to see
musical or playful features at Central Library and MLK Park next to the Strong Museum of Play. Construction for the first phase will be complete in August 2019.
