PLAY IN THE PARK SUMMER SUCCESS

This year’s summer Play in the Park was another brilliant success.

These free children’s play days, which are paid for by the Parish Council and run by Chelmsford City Council, took place on Wednesday August 5^th and 12^th.

With the weather being far better than anyone could have imagined, it was wonderful to see the children enjoying themselves so much after such a very peculiar and isolating year so far. As we were not able to compliment these play days with our own later in the summer holidays, we decided to add extra activities to the 4 sessions that we paid for with Chelmsford City Council.

The extra activities included Parkour/Free running, a games arena, a Kids Kingdom inflatable, the Creation Station and a mobile zoo experience with animal workshops. We even, on Wednesday August 5^th, had a visit from Chelmsford Deputy Mayor, Linda Mascot, as seen below with some of the children and in the second picture with our own Chair of the Council, Cllr Val Chiswell and our Vice Chair, Cllr Chris Shaw.
