A fabulous day was shared at Cofton Park by the community today – and even the weather was great!
The new children’s play area was officially opened by Lord Mayor of Birmingham Mike Leddy.
And families (and their cuddly toys!) enjoyed a fun, free Teddy Bear’s Picnic organised by Friends of Cofton Park – with entertainment including games, face painting, circus skills, craft activities, nature activities, races and even British Military Fitness for kids!
