SCORES of children and parents joined in activities taking place at a Newport park as part of a national campaign to get more youngsters playing outdoors.
Tredegar Park was full of fun and laughter as Wales’ National Day for Play held a variety of activities - including water play, sports, arts and crafts and family play.
The event was organised by Newport City Council’s play development team and Flying Start, which provide play schemes and support for families in the Newport area.
