What is ParkPlay? ParkPlay is building happier, healthier communities nationwide; through the life-changing power of play.

ParkPlay launched in Spring 2021 to encourage everyone to be more active and bring communities together. Since then, with the support of Sport England — and despite the disruption of the pandemic —ParkPlay has successfully launched 42 ParkPlays from Cornwall to Cumbria and has had over 6,000 unique participants.ParkPlay is run by the local community for the local community and serves as a perfect launchpad into every weekend. It’s play in the park every Saturday.

It’s active and inclusive – all generations play together. It’s a FREE, safe, welcoming and inclusive way for people to connect and have fun. Everyone’s invited.

It’s a space to play; to muck about with family and friends. It’s a place for friendships, old and new, and a time to create, play and imagine, together. Everyone should feel welcome, never judged, allowing ParkPlayers to grow in self belief.
