Local’s celebrate Queen’s Park Sports Centre tenth birthday
Over 900 of our local residents and visitors attended Queen’s Park Sports Centre open day on the 11th January to celebrate the facility’s tenth birthday.
Over the last ten years, the sports centre has grown to be a community hub for many different groups, organisations and individuals to use, learn and enjoy.
As part of the open day, the centre encouraged local people to come along and join them to take part in a range of free or low-cost activities that were suitable for everyone.
The open day included a range of activities from fitness classes to swimming lessons, opportunities to explore the gym facilities, take part in racket sports, have a go at netball, experience pre-school gymnastics and an on-site treasure hunt where participants could find prizes hidden around the centre.
Councillor Amanda Serjeant, deputy leader of Chesterfield Borough Council, said: “Marking 10 years of Queen’s Park Sports Centre is fantastic, the centre is an inclusive space that provides activities that bring communities together from activities for children to specific sessions such as Outswimming Cancer, there is something on offer there for everyone.
“Getting active has so many benefits both physically and mentally, so I encourage anyone who hasn’t visited the centre to find out how they could join what has become a community hub in Chesterfield.”
