Community Spirit and Environmental Focus
Cllr Laura Boyle, executive member for environmental services and neighbourhoods, said: "Spring Family Fun Day is one of those events that brings the community together. Year after year, it offers people of all ages a chance to spend quality time outdoors, try something new, and enjoy a fantastic mix of activities without worrying about cost. We're proud to offer a free event that is full of energy and fun, and we look forward to seeing residents and visitors join us for a great day out."
As parking around Stamford Park is limited and largely residents-only, visitors are encouraged to travel by public transport, bike, or on foot wherever possible. For those who need to travel by car, pay-and-display parking is available on Darnton Road for £1. More details can be found on the official council website.
