Volunteering at ParkPlay on Saturday mornings has been incredibly rewarding for my wife and me

ParkPlay is a simple community-focused initiative that transforms your local green spaces on Saturday mornings into vibrant community gatherings. Taking place every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, ParkPlay offers two hours of free fun in parks and open spaces across the country. Here in Letchworth, Jackmans ParkPlay, invites residents of all ages to rediscover the joy and life-changing power of play.

Supported by Sport England, Hertfordshire County Council and the Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership, Jackmans ParkPlay is part of a larger mission to promote physical activity and community engagement. The event encourages families and individuals to come together, enjoy our beautiful green spaces, and engage in a variety of informal games and activities. Focused on short games and playground fun for the whole family, ParkPlay creates an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of age or ability, can participate and have fun.

However, the magic of ParkPlay would not be possible without the dedication of its volunteers. At the heart of every ParkPlay session is a team of passionate individuals who bring energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for their local communities. These volunteers work alongside a qualified ParkPlay leader to help set up games, encourage participation, and ensure that everyone feels welcome. Their efforts are crucial to creating the positive, inclusive atmosphere that makes ParkPlay so special.
