Soccer Streets at PS 32! With a special guest…

May 13, 2026

Through the end of June, Street Lab is working with 50 NYC public schools to transform streets into places where students, families, and neighbors can kick a ball, make flags, read a book, and celebrate the game of soccer with the whole community. We kicked off Soccer Streets on May 11 with students, teachers, and families of PS 32 The Belmont School—one of our longstanding partners in the Bronx. And we had an assist from a very special guest…

Just like we do at Play Streets, we’ve created a quiet place next to sports, where kids can gather around learning. You can create a flag, try street chalking, make your own soccer trading card, or read a book with our staff.
