Hartshill Sporting Fun

12 August 2008

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).

Visitors are advised to wear suitable outdoor clothing and stout footwear; children must be accompanied by an adult.
