We have released our latest edition of Park News, our quarterly publication for local residents. This issue includes information about how the Park is adapting to the current worldwide health situation and how our Park partners are supporting the local community.

From local restaurants offering food delivery to digital entertainment from our East Bank partners, read on four ways to improve your well-being over the coming weeks (and keep your eyes peeled for even more ways to keep the kids entertained with some Park themed activities coming soon!).

...KEEP ACTIVE

While the Park is there for a daily walk, run or cycle, there are lots of ways to get active in your own home too. The Better gyms at East Village, Copper Box Arena and the London Aquatics Centre might be closed for the time being, but they are offering all members free access to home workouts and online classes via the Better UK app – simply download to your phone or tablet and log in with your membership details.

...KEEP THE KIDS HAPPY

Follow the Discover Children’s Story Centre on Instagram for a regular timetable of the best live streams for little ones, including theatre and storytelling. If they’d rather get involved themselves, Sadler’s Wells, one of the East Bank Partners, is hosting fun family dance workshops or sign up to The Maker’s Guild digital arts club, hosted by The Yard theatre, for free make-at home craft challenges.

...EAT WELL

Hopefully you’ve got plenty of supplies, but sometimes it’s nice to have an extra treat – and support local businesses along the way. Order boxes of supplies from vegan café Mother on Canalside, punchy chicken from Randy’s Wing Bar or get your Sunday roast for delivery from Barge East. Signorelli are also delivering baked treats to East Village residents. Remember, when picking up orders you must follow social distancing guidelines.

...BE ENTERTAINED

Alongside their dance workshops, Sadler’s Wells is providing entertainment for adults too with ‘digital stage’ performances. Get creative with Stratford Art Social’s craft sessions for grown ups, hosted via YouTube by Stratford Circus, and look out for screenings of classic sporting events on the BBC throughout summer – including moments from the London 2012 Games!
