It seems I stirred up a hornet’s nest with my letter about playing fields and green space financing the Basildon sporting village.
A few days ago I went to Wat Tyler Park, Pitsea. I haven’t been there for years, but what I saw was excellent and all free.
Parents and children were enjoying all the facilities.
I picked up a booklet called Get Out There!, which is full of free activities.
Where are the green spaces? Number one is Wat Tyler. Gloucester Park still has plenty of green space.
Noak Bridge is small, but clean and safe. Markhams Chase isn’t yet closed and has loads of activities for all the family.
School’s still out and we have been in the true British summer with rain rain and more rain. Mums and kids will be looking for something in the dry, not in the open. And there is lots to do indoors, with activities for all ages.
Grab yourself a copy of the book and take a look at what’s going on around you.
