Children and young people from across the region celebrated National Playday on 5 August by taking part in a travel themed experience.
Visitors to the Doncaster Dome travelled through time as they entered the junk orchestra time machine, followed clues to a land from the past, took a challenge to reach the future then rode the water slide back to the present!
Margaret Dunn, Play Ranger Project Manager said: "National Playday was a great opportunity for us to celebrate play in the borough.
"We wanted to provide an environment where children and young people have the opportunities to experience play and meet new challenges in a way most adults will have done as kids.
"Play, especially outdoor play, gives children the chance to be active, explore, challenge themselves, experience success and failure and develop skills to manage risk and conflict."
The day was a lot of fun and messy and wet too! We took some great photos, some of which will appear in the Play England Calendar in 2010.
Activities were run by the Doncaster Dome Play Rangers, artists from darts and A-Junction Network North were aimed at children aged 5-16 years.
The event was part of Doncaster’s BIG Lottery Play Portfolio. BIG Lottery is funding long term programmes of between two to three years of activity in Doncaster which ends in May 2010.
Play England aims for all children and young people in England to have regular access and opportunity for free, inclusive, local play provision and play space. To find out more including details of future play events visit www.playengland.org.uk
