Parks for Play will host two special Christmas sessions on 20 December SEND children and young people at their Coronation Road Playcentre. These sessions will use the drama and music skills of the Parks delivery team to run theatrical dancing and singing sessions and turn their new sensory space into a seasonal grotto. Children will be able to choose from a ranges of vegetable displays in new shapes and forms, dips, and sauces of all varieties in all colours to accompany pastas rice and baked potatoes. They will also be decorating their own sugar free biscuits and cakes to take away. On 21 December, staff and families will accompany ten young people to Ackers Adventure for tubing, team games, a treasure hunt and lunch. On 29th December less mobile or outdoor-inclined young people will go with a group of staff and families to an interactive relaxed theatre production in Solihull to participate comfortably in a physical and musical performance.

More About Parks for Play
Parks for Play was set up by parents and playworkers to provide access to play opportunities for disabled children. In 2021, the group moved into the Coronation Road Playcentre in Selly Oak and has been modernising and developing the centre and its grounds. In October 2022, a sensory garden was made at the Playcentre with support from BBC Children in Need. Parks runs five clubs for different age groups of SEND children and young people at its new base during term time as well as during school holidays.
