Play Rangers come to Basildon
A FREE summer play scheme for kids has proven so successful that Basildon Council has agreed to run an 'indoor' version over the winter. Play Rangers is a mobile play scheme which encourages children in the district to play and encourages them to take part.
Councillor Kevin Blake, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Arts, said: "Play Rangers has proven to be a huge hit and it is a great opportunity for kids to engage and interact with each other and learn important life skills. It is a free scheme and is open to children across the district so I would encourage all parents to bring along their children and give it a go."
The scheme enables children to engage and interact with each other, learn social skills and build an inclusive community whilst having fun with various activities.
Initially run during Easter and summer at different parks and recreation grounds, the scheme has been a huge success and so will now be delivered over the winter too - indoors for the first time. The scheme is running from the 31 October and is free of charge for children between the age of 5-12 to attend. Locations are:
The Crown Centre, Pitsea - Saturdays 10am-1pm
Markhams Chase Leisure Centre, Laindon - Sundays 2pm-5pm
