Ilkley Town Council [ITC] is once again supporting free Play in the Park sessions for residents and visitors throughout the summer holidays.
Organised by Bradford Council’s Community Play and Activities Development Service, these weekly sessions are led by experienced and qualified staff, offering children a wide range of fun and engaging activities.
Held in Ilkley’s Riverside Park 11am until 3pm, Play in the Park offers something for everyone. Activities include bouncy castles (with separate areas for under-5s and older children), swing ball, rounders, mini golf, football, giant snakes and ladders, Connect Four, space hoppers, and many more exciting games.
Families are encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy the day together, making the most of this fantastic opportunity for outdoor fun and play in a safe and welcoming environment.
