Active Play Challenge 2026

Children and young people need active play to grow, learn, stay healthy, and thrive. Yet opportunities for play are shrinking in cities around the world. Too many children and young people lack the space, time or support they need to move and play every day. Let’s change that together.

The Active Play Challenge invites organisations from around the world to create more opportunities for active play for children and young people. 

Let’s get cities active

through play,

everywhere, every day.
