Join in the spring fun at Stand Road Park
Chesterfield residents are being invited to a free community fun day being held at Stand Road Park.
The Spring Community Fun Day will take place between noon and 4pm on Wednesday (4 April).
It has been organised by the Racecourse Rubbish Rangers, a local community litter pick group, with support from local residents, the Friends of Stand Road Park and Chesterfield Borough Council.
Attractions on the day will include:
- Games and activities, including rounders, badminton, football, egg and spoon races, sack races and giant skittles
- An arts and crafts area
- The chance to play bowls on the bowling green
- An appearance by Chester the Field Mouse, the mascot of Chesterfield Football Club.
The Friends of Stand Road Park group will also open the café and pavilion to serve sandwiches and other refreshments, costing 50p.
Organisers are looking for volunteers to help run activities on the day. Anyone who is interested should turn up at the park at 11am, where they will be allocated an activity to assist with.
Councillor Chris Ludlow, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said:-
“This is a great community event and I hope local residents and others from across the borough will come to join in the fun.
“There are lots of free activities for the whole family so it is the perfect way for children to spend a day of their school holidays.
“To help the event run smoothly the organisers are keen for some more volunteers to help out on the day so if you have a spare few hours here is an opportunity to do something for the benefit of your local area.”
The fun day follows the success of a similar event in August last year.
