Play on the Runway

This Summer, Play on the Runway returns, for its fifth year and we are making it better than ever!

For July 11 and 12, the YZD Runway will transform into a play-your-way car-free zone. Bike it. Roll it. Skate it. Fly it. Bring your wheels, your games, your ideas—and make the Runway your playground. From hands-on activities to crowd-favourite programming, Play on the Runway is designed for all ages, all abilities, and all kinds of fun.

Enjoy 1km of open space filled with more to see and do than ever before. Whether you’re returning or visiting for the first time, there’s something new waiting for you to discover.

What’s in Store:
Bring Your Wheels: There’s ample space on the tarmac for bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards, scooters, unicycles, tricycles, and strollers.
Test the Latest Toys: Zoom into fun with the newest electric scooters and bikes. Rent roller skates or learn to skateboard.
