These sessions are funded through the Welsh Government’s Community Focused Schools funding, which will help to deliver safe play sessions for young people in both South-Denbighshire towns. The sessions are currently funded up until October of 2026.

Parents, carers or guardians are encouraged to fill in the application form for each child to register a place in these sessions. Parents can also register at the session if needed.

The Play Rangers sessions currently run on Wednesdays at Clawdd Poncen playing field from 3:15pm until 4:45pm and in Llangollen’s Pengwern Park on Mondays from 3:15pm until 4:45pm.

These play sessions are held for children aged 6-13 years old whilst children under 6 are welcomed, but must be accompanied by an adult.

Rhiain Morrlle, Head of Children's Service said:

“We have this funding up until October of next year, and we are really excited to have these sessions available in both Corwen and Llangollen.

I’d like to urge and parents or guardians who may have interest in these sessions to register through the form.”

Councillor Diane King, Lead Member for Lead Member for Education, Children and Families said:

“Play is an integral part of childhood, helping with imagination, development and socialisation from a young age.

These sessions are run by our excellent Play Ranger service, who run fun and exciting sessions for young people in Denbighshire.

The team have listened to the community and recognised the need for these sessions in both towns.”
