Each day a wide range of fun activities took place between 12pm and 4pm. The whole event was organised in conjunction with Blackpool Council, BSafe Blackpool and the Friends of Stanley Park including athletics, fishing, football coaching, skateboarding, BMX biking, DJ Mixing, an assault course and boxing.

 

Many visitors to the fun days brought along their digital cameras to take part of the Photo in the Park competition. The photo entries were judged each day and a daily winner awarded a £30 shopping voucher.

 

There were displays from a graffiti artist, road safety, the fire service and the ambulance service.

 

Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) for Marton and Stanley Park Aneta Turner, who is part of the team organising the event, said: “We have an action-packed week of activities planned which should hopefully provide the young people of Blackpool with something to do during the summer holidays.

“Young people often tell us that they have nothing to do with their spare time so we organised this week in response to their requests for things to do.

“These sort of events not only provide something positive for the young people to do but they help the police and other agencies build relationships with them, providing a positive input into their development.”
