Central Park family fun day proves to be a big hit

Peterborough’s Central Park had everything from community cricket to stalls and a dog show for the annual fun day over the weekend.

Organised by the Friends of Central Park and supporters, the event featured a fabulous arrangement of activities, entertainment and fun for all the family.

The dog show started at 2pm, and included categories for the Waggiest Woofer, Best Rescue and Super Six Legs.

There was also a host of local arts and crafts stalls to browse, live music and a funfair and bouncy castle for the younger children.

One of the highlights was the community cricket match played for the Peterborough City Cup between a team from the Peterborough Mosque Community Team who took on a combined Peterborough City Council, Police and Fire Service

Team.

The Mosque community team won an entertaining match by a comfortable 67 runs.

Peterborough Mosque Community Team scored 173-3 from 14 overs.

Peterborough City Council, Police and Fire Service Team responded with 106-7 after their 14 overs.

Match organisers Wicketz Peterborough said: “A very entertaining high scoring 14 overs a side match raised lots of money for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

“Some excellent big hitting and a lightning quick outfield saw plenty of runs for the crowd.

“This event started the annual Family Fun Day at Central Park.”

The Friends of Central Park said on social media: “A huge thank you to all those who helped to make the Family Fun Day/Dog Show happen...

“We couldn’t have done it without you.”
