Thousands enjoy play day at Caerphilly’s Morgan Jones Park

An estimated 5,000 people attended a family play day at Morgan Jones Park in Caerphilly.

A host of free activities were available to families throughout the day, and the good weather also played its part.

The event was organised by GAVO and supported by Caerphilly County Borough Council, Welsh Government and Families First.

Lisa Williams, of GAVO, said: “It’s really about celebrating play for children, young people and families, and celebrating the importance of play but also their right to play as well.

“There’s lots of cuts at the moment and everyone is being squeezed that little bit more, but we do have a lot of flexibility in the voluntary sector to try and go for extra grants and to really make these things happen.”
