Over 250 local families came along to the event, part of the National Family Week celebrations which focuses on families spending more quality time together and champions the benefits of a healthy, active and positive family life. 

The day was funded by ‘Big’ Lottery and Nottinghamshire Community Foundation with free entertainment throughout the day including crafts, model making, inflatable’s, puppet shows and play and sports activities which provided an exciting and fun time for all.

Ashfield District Council Neighbourhood Services and Community Development staff helped the group raise community awareness around caring for and developing the recreation ground by  organising a community litter pick and weeding of the pathway of  the main entrance to the park (off Mansfield Road, Skegby).
