Physical activities for families


We encourage families to be active together.

Parents carrying children outdoors

Research from Sport England tells us that families play a key role in shaping children’s attitudes and behaviours towards physical activity and sport. This is especially true of parents and carers.

We provide informal opportunities for physical activity and sport on Cambridge’s many parks and in leisure facilities.

There are also plenty of other organisations providing sport and leisure activities that families can use together.

Families Moving courses

All these activity courses are facilitated by qualified coaches, and we encourage all members of the family to take part together.

Visit Bookwhen to find out more about these courses and to book your place. Minimum booking is 1 adult and 1 child, and you must attend all course dates.
