The events will be aimed at children and teenagers. The focus will be fun and offering people an introduction to sports or skills they may not normally encounter or experience. We will aim to make sure the events are free or affordable to participate
The plan with the funding would be to extend sport in the park to older people by working in partnership with local elderly charities and organising group suitable exercise sessions in and around the park throughout the summer months and autumn
We aim to attract as many young people as we can
We aim to organise light exercise sessions for elderly folk
We are hoping to run a number of Sport in the Park events in Beechwood Park in Newport this summer. We are planning three events: Sport in the Park - A day long event of multiple sports & fun games working in partnership with Newport Live Sports Day - A traditional sports day event for children & young teenagers including fun races, obstacle courses, mixed aged and relays Sport Taster Sessions - A day of taster sessions of sports around the park including tennis, golf, athletics, rugby
We hope to build on numbers with each event
Attendee & guest feedback via questionnaires, video clips, forum and polls.
We will aim to work with as many partners and local community & sports groups as possible
