Families in Solihull were welcomed to the opening of a brand-new soft play area at a local leisure centre on Monday October 27.
North Solihull Sports Centre, run by award-winning operator Everyone Active in partnership with Solihull Council, opened the new facility after investing more than £20,000 to create a vibrant play-based environment for children aged up to eight years to stay active.
The exciting addition has transformed part of the centre’s existing facilities into a safe, fun and engaging space that will help support learning and development.
Featuring colourful slides, building blocks, spinning panels and sensory features, the soft play area for early years enables children to build motor skills and development through balancing, sliding and rolling throughout the secure two-tier structure.
The soft play also allows parents to encourage social interaction, active play and creativity.
The new offering builds on the centre’s popular 0-4 years free swimming offer with a paying adult, alongside adult and child sessions.
Alex Fuoco-Lang, area contract manager at Everyone Active, said: “We’re thrilled to announce that our brand-new soft play area at North Solihull Sports Centre is now officially open. We’re delighted to welcome children to this fantastic space to help them learn, grow and have fun – all while staying active with their family.
“We thoroughly look forward to new and existing members enjoying this brand-new dedicated play facility this Autumn and beyond following this brilliant investment.
Cllr Tony Dicicco, Solihull Council cabinet member for public health, added: “I’m delighted that the soft play area is now open for children and families across the borough.
“It’s a fantastic way for our youngest residents to relax and have fun, with lots of brilliant activities available.
The soft play area is available from the morning to the early evening, with entry available to both members and non-members. Entry is £5 for ages 0-8.
The development forms part of Solihull Council and Everyone Active’s wider commitment to family-friendly leisure services in the area, providing innovative ways to help keep the community active.
