Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Wellbeing, ICT and Member Development Cllr Jonathan Wheeler said: “Lark in the Park is back this August 6, and we’re looking forward to welcoming the thousands of families and children to Bridgford Park to celebrate Play Day, the national day of play!
“It’s a fantastic, action-packed event that gives friends and families the opportunity to spend quality time together, enjoying a range of free activities and entertainment and above all a fun-filled day!
“This year’s theme is Spaces for Play which highlights the vital importance of accessible, inclusive spaces where children and young people have opportunities to play freely, connect with friends and feel valued as part of their community.
“Here in the Borough, we have invested over £1 million in our community play facilities to provide new, modern and inclusive facilities for all children to enjoy.
“We’ve worked with Proludic Ltd who have designed the new features at parks such as Rushcliffe Country Park, Greythorn Park, and more.
“With recent upgrades to Bridge Field Teen Park and Bridgford Park play area, why not check them out whilst you’re at Lark in the Park!”
“Thank you to our event sponsors who are wonderful local businesses Royston & Lund, Spire Nottingham Hospital, and Proludic Ltd.”
