Online, Saturday 4th July

Due to current government guidance on public gatherings and physical distancing Dublin City Council are unable to host National Playday 2020 event in our city’s beautiful parks.
However, we will continue to celebrate National Playday by turning technology inside out to get children back outside to…..Play for Play’s sake!

Dublin City Council are hosting a fun-filled VIRTUAL PLAYDAY that promises lots of fun and activity to support playful communities and families playing at home to celebrate UNCRC Article 31; the child’s right to play!

Meet some old and new playday friends in our ‘how to’ videos for ideas to play at home, in your garden, local park or green, precinct, street, halfway up the stairs or wherever you can play!
