Project 31 enjoy a spring fling

Actions stations at Overtoun Park event

More than 30 children sprung into action as they took to Overtoun Park to celebrate the school holidays.

The youngsters were attending Project 31’ s Action Stations event, which saw local families handed out a series of fun tasks to complete in 60 minutes.

With the sun shining, 34 children were challenged to draw their favourite tree in the park, complete a scavenger hunt, take part in races, try hula hooping, complete the wooden assault course at the play park and more.

A huge success, Action Stations was one of several events organised as part of Project 31’s Spring Fling school holiday activity programme.
