Qualified instructors take the group through a 30-minute outdoor activity session. Everyone is able to work at their own level and enjoy the benefits of exercising outdoors. These circuit-based sessions are family-friendly, fun and suit all ages and abilities.
The Park Active project is also recruiting and training volunteers to deliver the weekly outdoor community workouts.
Extending the offer from our existing four healthy hub sites, which each hold a timetable of activity sessions, these weekly sessions take place at five new parks across the borough:
At Stevens Park, Wollescote on Saturdays
Session 1 – 9:30 to 10:00am
Session 2 – 10:00 to 10:30am
(meet at the upper car park)
At Buffery Park, Kates Hill on Saturdays
Session 1 – 10:00 to 10:30
Session 2 – 10:30 to 11:00
(meet outside the Paradise Centre).
At Abbey Street Rec, Gornal on Saturdays
Session 1 – 10:00 to 10:30
Session 2 – 10:30 to 11:00
(meet at the children’s play area).
