The game reference YOU can help us build

Streetplay's mission is to document the great city games that we know and love. Over the years, we've wanted to allow our readers to collaborate with us, to make our knowledge base bigger and better. Now, technology has caught up with our desire and we're proud to announce the Streetplay Wiki (SPwiki for short).

Are there games you played in the street as a city youth? Are you a reasonably good writer with attention to detail? Sign up for a SPwiki account and help us make SPWiki the best web resource for urban games anyone can imagine.

Some of the best street photography

We've assembled the Streetplay Galleries to present the work of professional artists who have documented the experience of play all over the world. Over the years, we've assembled some stunning exhibitions.

In this gallery, East River Raft, Jerry Dantzic presents this reflection, in his own pictures and words, of a childhood spent next to New York's East River. This is a real treat that we're sure you'll enjoy.
