On three consecutive Saturdays in the summer, nearly seven miles of New York City’s streets are opened up for everyone to play, run, walk and bike.

Summer Streets is an annual celebration of New York City’s most valuable public space—our streets. Summer Streets provides space for healthy recreation and encourages New Yorkers to use more sustainable forms of transportation. In 2012, more than 250,000 people took advantage of the open streets.

We are hard at work planning for next year. Highlights from 2012:

• 
  Zip Line
• 
  REI Climbing Wall
• 
  Urban Art
• 
  Whole Foods Market City Picnic

  

  

DOT also brings new energy to city streets in all five boroughs throughout the summer by partnering with community groups to present Weekend Walks.
