Park Sport
Our annual summer activity programme for 5-16 year olds and their families
Bookings close 48 hours before Sessions/Nerf Events - so be quick!
26 July to 28 August
The Borough-wide offer expands its offer to include 5 to 7 year olds, it aims to offer children and young people of 5-16 years a broad range of opportunities to try new sports and active sessions.
Park Sport is funded by SportWorks as well as the Local Area Committees, Parish and Town Councils, and is supported by a broad range of partners including sports clubs, activity providers and facilities.
This year’s programme, which will run for five weeks over the school summer holidays, sees the return of popular activities such as the free SkateJams and swimming offer at multiple locations. A range of sports clubs will be providing introductory sessions to enable young people to try something new, with options to continue should they want to.
After a long period of no structured activities, Park Sport is excited to help children and young people reconnect with one another this summer...
