Family fun day marks reopening of Skipton games area
A FAMILY fun day was held for the reopening of the Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) at Skipton's North Parade recreation ground.
The event was organised by Skipton Town Council to mark the official reopening following refurbishment of the games area made possible thanks to funding from Hull-based company JP Developers.
There was plenty to keep everyone entertained including a bouncy castle, giant garden games, Kanga Sports sessions, and arts and crafts – also sponsored by JP Developers. The community centre welcomed visitors with complimentary refreshments and healthy snacks generously donated by Morrisons, while local businesses ran stalls to raise funds for a variety of charities.
JP Developers also presented the town council with a plaque that will go up at the recreation ground in recognition of the company's contribution.
Russell Page, social value manager, JP Developers, said "It's great to see the local community attending the launch of the MUGA regeneration project. It will provide a great facility for the residents to enjoy whilst improving their physical well-being. As a construction company, we place great importance on supporting local community initiatives through the Your4Good Fund, and we are pleased to have funded this project. "
A spokesperson for Skipton Town Council said: 'This refurbishment means so much to our community, and it's fantastic to see families coming together to enjoy the new facilities. We are extremely grateful to JP Developers for making this possible, and to all the local businesses who supported today's event.'
The refurbished MUGA is now open for public use, offering improved facilities for sports, play, and community gatherings for years to come.
