Streetplay turns 20!

Look who's back...

It doesn't seem possible that our site is now twenty years old, but it is! We're planning some new stuff to keep the ball rolling, including new About Us and What's New pages (duh!), a new Facebook discussion group to complement our Facebook page, a searchable and organized archive of our original disussion area (about 14 years of folks sharing their memories!), a tribute to our dear friend in play, Bernie DeKoven, and of course, Streetplay Twentieth Anniversary Gear (t-shirts, caps, and more).

Stay tuned to this space, as well as the Streetplay Facebook page, as we roll out these and more anniversary features.

Streetplay 20 Commemorative Gear

From t-shirts to hoodies to water bottles and more, visit our new Streetplay 20 Commemorative Gear selection on CafePress to get some swag and keep Streetplay going.
