Families are invited to join the celebration as the brand-new Cannock Park Play Area is officially opened this summer.
The official opening event will take place on Thursday 14 August 2025, from 12.30pm to 3.30pm at Cannock Park. The event promises a fun afternoon for families, friends, and children of all ages.
Visitors will be among the first to try out the exciting new play equipment and enjoy a variety of other fun activities happening throughout the afternoon. Families are encouraged to bring a picnic and make the most of the beautiful park setting.
Cannock Police will also be attending to offer free bike marking, giving residents the chance to have their bikes securely marked and registered to help deter theft and keep bikes safe.
Joss Presland, Head of Operations for Cannock Chase Council, said: "We’re so pleased to be opening this fantastic new play area for everyone to enjoy. It’s a wonderful space where children and families can come together, get active and have lots of fun outdoors.
“Play areas like this are so important for children’s health and happiness — giving them a safe place to play, exercise and spend time with friends. We’re proud that Cannock Chase Council is continuing to invest in good quality, accessible play spaces right across the district, helping families make the most of our beautiful green spaces."
The new play area is part of the Council’s wider efforts to improve local parks and open spaces, ensuring they continue to meet the needs of the community for years to come.
Everyone is welcome – so come along, bring your friends, pack a picnic, bring your bike for free bike marking, and join in the fun!
