Chelmsford's Play in the Park is set to return this summer, offering 70 free activity sessions tailored for children aged 3-11. The sessions will take place from July 24 to August 23 at 19 community and parish venues across the city. Families can begin booking their spots on June 24, with a total of 14,000 free spaces available. Last year, the initiative saw more than 7,500 children participating, highlighting its growing popularity and community impact. Each session promises a variety of fun activities supervised by experienced Playworkers, including exciting opportunities to interact with Animal Workshops Mobile Zoo.

This program not only entertains children but also encourages families to explore their local community and engage in outdoor activities. With the school holidays approaching, this initiative serves as a significant opportunity for families to enjoy quality time together. The council's commitment to providing free and accessible activities underscores the importance of community well-being during the summer months.
