From skipping to scooting and face-painting to frisbee, children and families across Haringey had fun in the spring sunshine at this year’s Weekend of Play.

Streets were closed to traffic to encourage people to play outdoors, while special events were staged at schools and parks around the borough.

Highlights included adventure play at Somerford Grove Adventure Playground Palace, football skills with Tottenham Hotspur at Lordship Recreation Ground and a picnic on the ball court at Wood Green’s Commerce Road.

Alexandra Palace saw the biggest turnout, with more than 200 participants enjoying a treasure hunt and explorers’ trail around the park, organised by Friends of Alexandra Palace and volunteers.

The Weekend of Play is supported by Haringey’s Obesity Alliance, which aims to tackle childhood obesity in a fun and practical way by promoting healthier living. Read more about Haringey’s Obesity Alliance.
