“A Walk In the Park” is essentially a walk-a-thon with a difference. Children should ‘check in’ at 10am and receive a wristband to show their registration ($6) has been paid.  This registration covers all the activities of the morning.  At this time the children will also present the sponsorship forms and money they have raised in previous weeks from sponsorship from family and friends.  The child who collects the highest number of sponsors (supporters not $$) will receive a $200 TOYWORLD VOUCHER.  Prizes of varying value will also be awarded to the children with the highest monetary value sponsored,  the most enthusiastic dancing, the best display of sportsmanship and a NEW BIKE will be drawn from the participants who registered prior to 10th August on the website www.awalkinthepark.info
 

The actual ‘walk’ around the 500 meter perimeter of the field will have staggered starts and not be timed.  Every 100 meters the children will attempt an easy obstacle (hula- hoops, egg and spoon, running through a ‘wall’ of bubbles ect). There will be appropriate adults along the perimeter keeping children ‘on track’. All of the activities will all be age appropriate and similar to those played at birthday parties. The walk is intended for young people of all abilities to participate and have fun.  It is not a child-minding service, and full supervision from parents/carers is expected.
