Sport in the Park returns to Newport this summer with a packed program of holiday activities.
Newport Live in partnership with U Do It, Golf Wales and Forces Fitness will hold events across three locations with Beechwood Park in Maindee kicking off the fun on August 10.
The following two weeks the event will be held at Tredegar Park in Duffryn, and the Rogerstone Welfare Grounds on August 24.
A group of qualified sports coaches and sport club volunteers will provide over 20 activities for families to enjoy.
The activities include football, rugby, golf, tennis, dance, fitness, multi-skill games, inflatable assault course, bouncy castle, face painting and arts and crafts.
Karl Reed, of community sport and wellbeing at Newport Live, is delighted that the event is returning to Newport in August.
He said: “Our Sport in the Park events have run for several years and are a chance for families to get out, get active, and have fun in our parks and green spaces in the City of Newport.
“We provide lots of taster sessions of sports, fun games, inflatables, activities and arts and crafts for families to take part in, play with their children, or have our qualified sports professionals facilitate.
“Families are encouraged to bring picnics and stay for the day.”
