Young People
Wodson Park’s After-School activities
A wide programme of sports and leisure activities for Young People is available at Wodson Park - after school, at weekends and during the School Holidays.
Our After-School activities usually run during School terms (normally for 6 –7 weeks). These classes are very popular, and booking is essential.
To book an After-School course place, please contact Wodson Park Reception. Our receptionist will be able to advise you if there are any spaces available on your preferred course.
Payment for all After-School activities is required in advance, to secure a place.
If there are no spaces available in your preferred After-School class during the current term, our receptionist can (if you wish) add your name and contact details to our ‘waiting list’ . We will then contact you when a space becomes available in your preferred class during a future school term.
Please note:
The safety and welfare of all users of Wodson Park facilities is of paramount importance to us. Our After-School activities class sizes and age restrictions are there for good child and young person safety reasons, and cannot be amended.
Wodson Park Clubs and Organisations
A number of the clubs and organisations who are based at Wodson Park also offer activities for Young People. Contact details for all of these groups are included within our Activities Guide below.
All enquiries about joining any of these activities should be made directly to the relevant (listed) contact person.
Please note:
If you are NOT a member of Wodson Park, you will be charged a non-member fee (currently 50p per visit for Young People) on each occasion you visit Wodson Park Sports and Leisure Centre.
Our non-member fee is additional to any fees that the clubs and organisations may charge you to participate in their activities.
