Summer holidays, eh? Kids already driving you mad? Today, Wednesday 31st July 2013, there will be an opportunity to get them off that games console and out into the fresh air with a summer fun event at the popular Brownhills park. The event will be free, but some activities may be chargable. These events are very popular.

The Community Games website has this to say:

This is a community fun day incorporating Community Games. There will be fun taster sessions in various sports, and lots of informal activities for the community to get involved with. Certificates will be presented to all participants. There will also be children’s rides, inflatable’s, charity stalls, music, face painting, storytelling and refreshments.

Walsall Council sent this press release:

Plenty of fun across borough’s parks

A host of free fun days have been planned across the borough’s parks this summer with inflatables, music and face painting among the attractions on offer.

In July, visitors can enjoy events in Reedswood Park, Birchills, on Monday 29 July and Holland Park, Brownhills, on Wednesday 31 July.

In August there are events in Darlaston, Pleck, Pheasey, Palfrey and Willenhall.

All fun days run from 10.30am until 4pm.

Councillor Anthony Harris, portfolio holder for leisure and culture with Walsall Council Coalition, said: “We have hundreds of people turn out for our park fun days every year, they’re really popular.

“We held the first of this season’s events in Bloxwich in May and it was a cracking day out for all. We had a huge turnout which is really encouraging.

“As well as enjoying charity stalls, children’s rides, face painting and other activities, visitors can use these events as an opportunity to explore our wonderful parks and enjoy a great day out in the fresh air.”

While entry is free, age restrictions apply on some rides and charges apply on attractions.
