Birmingham’s Play in Parks Project

During this summer children and families are invited to attend Birmingham PlayCare Network’s Play in Parks project supported by Perry Barr ward councillors through a community chest allocation.

Play in Parks is an open access project providing play opportunities aimed at children aged 5 to 13. There will be a great range of playful activities and games for local children and their families

Rebecca Coley Project Manager for Birmingham PlayCare Network says; “This will give the children the opportunity to make dens, participate in team games, arts and craft and engage in messy play. We look forward to welcoming the public, please come and join us!”

Calshot School - 08/08/11 till 19/08/11(excluding weekends)

Summer playschemes

We're expecting the usual annual summer scheme in Perry Hall Park to begin on August 8th for one week. Full details will be posted here when we get them.

The annual scheme which has run for many years at the end of July fell foul of budget cuts - so the ward councillors have stepped into agree some community chest allocation to support a week of activity.

In Turnberry Park there is  a playscheme running on Fridays from 3pm to 6pm until the end of July - for children aged from five to 13.
