Please join us on Tuesday 29 October for a fun outdoor event for young families to play, get creative and try new things!
The event takes place from 10:45am and is delivered by Hunslet & Belle Isle Community Project and is kindly funded by Get Set Leeds Local as part of ongoing work to develop play opportunities out and about in Hunslet. As South Leeds Life reported here a first event took place in August which was a fantastic success.
Activities will include various water activities, a sand pit, chalk art, den building, bubbles, parachute games and sports. Children must attend with an adult – we hope you enjoy playing together! People are welcome to drop in anytime and stay as long or short as they can.
Hunslet ‘Town Square’ is a pedestrianised area located just off Church Street in Hunslet – in front of Hunslet Community Hub & Library (next to Morrisons). Over the last 9 months the area has undergone a transformation to develop it in to a valuable community space. So far wild flower beds have been planted and seating areas installed. Also a range of eye catching and exciting play markings have been painted on the floor around the area with more work planned.
Councillor Paul Wray has been the driving force behind the regeneration of Hunslet Town Square and is keen to see the space used by local people:
“The Hunslet and Belle Isle Community Project is a trusted and well respected partner delivering high quality activities across this community” he said.
“Events like this in the newly revamped Hunslet Town Square will ensure that this space becomes the center of positive public activity for a new generation and encourage young people to respect and care for this public space.”
