Love Parks Week event Saturday 23rd july 2011

By Colin Hicks , 18 July, 2011

In conjunction with the events team at Southampton City Council, we are staging a try orienteering event for the first time in the central parks in Southampton.

Andrews Park and Watts Park have been mapped as well as the complex of the Civic Centre and Guildhall Square.

The event is suitable for beginners and novices and families are welcome. The shortest course is suitable for people with limited mobility, as the majority of this course is on tarmac paths

The longest course is for experienced orienteers but children can complete it, if accompanied by an adult.  For more information click on the event in the forthcoming events list.
