National Play Day at Albert Park
Life's a Beach...in Salford, (article taken from Salford Online)
Children will soon be digging out their buckets and spades to build sandcastles on Salford's first beach next week.
14 tonnes of sand from Wolverhampton will be laid at Albert Park in Broughton on 6 August to build the man-made beach.
The beach is being organised by Salford City Council's park rangers and GRUMPY (Greater Manchester Play Resources Centre) to celebrate national Playday to encourage children to get out and play.
The focus of this year's Give us a go! campaign is to promote challenging and adventurous play opportunities and to make parks and open spaces good places to play.
The sand is being supplied by a quarry and is specially made so it's safe for children to play in.
Traditional seaside entertainment will include a Punch and Judy show and donkey rides.
There will also be a performance from Artizani, a bouncy castle, face painting stalls and space hopper football.
The beach will be there for one day only and after the event the sand will be reused in park and allotments in the city.
Councillor Keith Mann, lead member for the environment at Salford City Council said: "We've never done anything like this before and it's nice to be able to put on something a bit different for people of all ages to enjoy this summer."
The beach will be open from 1 until 4pm and entry is free.
