PARKLANDS Leisure Centre is hosting an open day on Sunday March 25 to showcase some of the sports opportunities available there.

The day will involve a number of activities and games for all family members.

Activities on offer in the sports hall include badminton from 10.30am to noon, a football penalty shoot-out from noon to 1pm, basketball from 1pm to 2pm, family circuit training from 2pm to 3pm, and a five-a-side football tournament from 4pm to 5pm.

There will be free health checks measuring blood pressure, Body Mass Index, and fat percentage, alongside a lung flow test. The tests also come with a brief plan on how to get healthier.

Free access to the gym and a variety of aerobic sessions in the studio will also be available.

Jon Smith, contract manager at Parklands, said: 'We have some really great facilities at Parklands, and we hope that by offering these taster sessions, local residents will be keen to take part in the numerous activities and classes on a regular basis.

'We'll also be offering free health checks throughout the day so do come along and find out more.'
