Park Sport festival’s a hit!

1,874 Park Sport sessions were booked across the summer

Park Sport is the annual summer programme giving Eastleigh Borough’s 8-16 year olds a chance to try out a range of sports and activities through the holidays for just £1 per session.

The 15th year of Park Sport, was marked by two new one-day festivals offering inclusive activities for all the family, in addition to the weekly summer sessions at 15 venues across the Borough.

The free Skate Jam events, run by professionals from Team Extreme, have become a staple of the

programme, as well as the free swimming sessions at three Borough leisure centres.

Local mum Louise said; “My children loved the Parksport Festival day. They participated in sports that they wouldn’t normally get the chance to try like Trampolining, Squash, Badminton and Yoga. It was well

organised and all the coaches were brilliant with the children”

Park Sport is funded by the Local Area Committees and Parish and Town Councils, and is sponsored by Hillcrest Structural Ltd with the sailing activities sponsored by BP Oil Ltd.
