Free family fun this summer
Outdoor fun, sports, arts and crafts, bikes and much more, join us this summer for Play in the Park.
Play in the Park offers a fun, outdoor experience for children and their parents or carers. No booking needed, just drop in at any time. Children will need to be accompanied by an adult.
Our Community Health & Wellbeing team will provide a variety of sports equipment, bikes, and arts & crafts resources for everyone to enjoy together. Plus, at certain sessions, Dr. Bike will be available for free bike health checks – you can book a Dr Bike check-up below.
Our Play in the Park sessions are run with the support of our town and parish councils, allowing us to continue the sessions this summer.
