Summer of Play Trail

We will be setting up games and sporting equipment on the grassy seaside fields on the Whitehaven Coast for all to enjoy. If you've never picked up a badminton racket or played a game of volleyball, we will be on hand to help you and your little ones get going. With the wildflower meadows putting on a show against the blue seascape, this is the perfect backdrop for a fun-filled day with the whole family. Set up a blanket on the grass to relax between games and see how many butterflies you can spot in the tall grass. We look forward to seeing you there!
