Kids were invited to "play in the streets" in Kensington

KENSINGTON (WPVI) -- Kids were invited to "play in the streets" in Kensington Tuesday.

The Action Cam was at the 600 block of East Hilton Street, which is just one of hundreds of one-way streets across the city of Philadelphia that were closed off as a "play streets" site.

Mayor Jim Kenney was there to join the kids, as they enjoyed a safe space to play.

Police officers were also on hand as the little ones put their imagination to work with chalk in the street, played hula hoops, and much more.
