- Having Fun
Over 300 children came to Booth Street Park over the second week of the summer holidays to take part in the Play in Parks project delivered by Birmingham PlayCare Network and funded by Be Birmingham via Soho Finger and Gib Heath Neighbourhood Management. This was the first time Play in Parks has been delivered in Booth Street Park and was huge hit with the community.
The children have climbed trees, played team games, made dens and even had a barbeque. Many families, fathers and grandparents have visited the park regularly to engage in their children’s play, resulting in some fabulous community engagement.

I didn’t know what to expect from the training but enjoyed it a lot; BPCN prepared us well but also kept us engaged with the games and feedback. (more…)
