Half Term Fun at Putt & Play!
Join us for a round of mini golf at Active Putt & Play in Ferndale Community Sports Centre. It’s a great way to play outdoor, share some laughs, and make the most of the half term break.
Since our recent launch, we’ve welcomed many local families who’ve enjoyed our colourful and exciting course. Each hole represents an iconic landmark of the borough, giving children a chance to learn about local history while they play.
And it’s not just fun, it’s educational too! As they play, kids practise their maths skills by keeping track of scores, adding up points, and comparing results during friendly competitions. It’s a hands-on way to reinforce numeracy without the pressure of a classroom.
Beyond numbers, mini golf also supports physical development. Each swing, step, and aim helps improve balance and coordination. The game encourages focus and patience, while the colourful, themed course sparks imagination and curiosity.
Book now – it might just become one of your family’s new favourite activities!
