It'll be all go at Hartshill Park on Wednesday 20 August
as residents from across the borough are encouraged to come along
and take part in a free sports afternoon from 1- 4pm.
A host of fun activities will be on offer including green
bowling, tennis, archery, football and street sports. This free
sports day is free and qualified sports instructors will be on hand
to help participants try new sports.
Cllr Denis Allen, Cabinet Member for Community Services, said:
"The Council is working with local coaches and sports clubs to
offer this diverse and fun packed afternoon for all to enjoy.
"This day is just one of many that form part of a diverse
programme of events that the Council is hosting in the borough
parks this year. The event is an ideal opportunity for residents to
come along and make it a day out with family or friends."
Hema Kasi-Patel, Parks & Recreation Development Officer said
"The purpose of these 'have-a-go' sessions is to encourage
residents to try some of the sports available in the borough.
Through this experience we hope that more people will continue to
take part in the sporting activities on offer."
All equipment will be provided free of charge, the drop-in
sessions do not require any bookings with all activities being
suitable for wheelchair users. The park offers free car parking
which is accessible from Hadley Road (Oakengates).
