Deeside Activity Park proved once again to be an all-inclusive venue, when it welcomed children from Aberdeenshire council’s Sensory Support Services unit for a day of fun activities and quality food.

The partially sighted kids were given the opportunity to try their hands (and feet) at a variety of activities.  From racing round our karting circuit in the 2 seater go-kart to climbing by feel on our low-level bouldering wall.  We also tried something new for this particular event – target shooting with paintball guns so the children could see the paint splatter as they hit the target.

Our new chief activity instructor Kristian Lilly said “it’s very rewarding to be able to offer these children such an experience.  The day was really well received and all the kids were able to participate fully in the activities”.   And we received a lovely thank you card from the vision support team just days after the event, proving that it had been the phenomenal hit we’d hoped.
