A neighbourhood Block Party presents the opportunity for residents of all ages to meet each other, share interests, celebrate diversity and strengthen our community connections. Block Parties help to build a strong sense of community connectedness and a culture of care and support.
If you're organizing a Block Party in your neighbourhood, our Neighbourhood Team is here to help! To support and streamline the planning process, the Town of Halton Hills staff are available to assist Block Party organizers throughout the planning process, act as a liaison, and facilitate any questions you may have.
Prior to filling out the Block Party application, please browse the available items in our block party kit that are included in our Block Party package!

Tell your neighbours, tell your friends, Play Streets is here for another summer of fun! Play Streets are special short-term road closures that turn your neighbourhood into a safe, car-free zone where residents can connect, play, and have fun together!
By transforming the street into a shared public space, our Play Streets program offers a space for residents to get to know their neighbours. Play Streets are part of the Town’s Hey Neighbour initiative and coincides with the great work the Town is doing to deliver free, quality, and accessible active programming.
Our Hey Neighbour Team will bring and set up a variety of large outdoor lawn games and equipment for residents to interact with.

Open Streets programming brings our Town together to enjoy vehicle-free streets filled with activities, fun and community spirit. Join us as we reimagine our streets as vibrant spaces for everyone to explore, connect and celebrate!
Open Streets temporarily close selected streets in Halton Hills, transforming them into lively spaces where people can walk, bike, and engage in various activities. It’s a chance to experience our town in a whole new way, promoting active living, local businesses, and community connections.
Check this space in the spring of 2025 for a list of upcoming Open Street events
Our Neighbourhood Programming crew has been busy all winter sourcing heavy duty toy trucks and adding identifiable Town of Halton Hills stickers. Toys are intended to promote creativity, encourage cooperative play and make play times longer. Look for Toys in Parks from the end of May to September this year.

We’ve packed away our Fire Pit Pop-up programming until the fall. Thank you to the more than 200+ residents who popped by to chat with the Hey Neighbour crew, to enjoy a hot chocolate or two and some warm conversations with your neighbours on all those snowy Sundays this past winter!
Stay tuned later this year for the dates, times and locations of our next round of Fire Pit Pop-ups!
