It’s a busy week in the park this week (24-31 August). The pay and play games are open every day and equipment can be hired at the ticket office by the tennis courts.
On Monday evening there’s a free session of Tag Rugby at the athletic stadium at 6pm.
On Tuesday morning the Walking Fit Group meet by the tennis courts at 9.30am.
If it’s Wednesday it must be Weeding Wednesdays with the Friends of CHaT Parks and the Park gardener. Meeting from 1-3pm in the Flower Garden in Thornes Park just bring a trowel and gardening gloves and help keep our park beautiful.
At the weekend, the Wakefield Thornes parkrun meet on Saturday morning at 9am and the Wakefield Thornes junior parkrun meet on Sunday morning at 9.15am. Both groups meet at the car park near the children’s playground.
On Saturday (29th) there’s a terrific fun session run by Wakefield School of Tennis from 9.30-12 noon at the Thornes Park tennis courts with Coach Dwight Brown. This costs just £2 and is a great way for children to keep fit, have fun and make friends. More information at:

Of course, Sunday afternoon wouldn’t be the same without the wonderful Thornes Park Miniature Railway, Wakefield which runs from 1-4pm near the children’s playground.
There’s plenty to do in the park, or you could just stroll around and enjoy the flowers!
