It’s that time of year again when everyone wants to be out making the most of the sunny weather, and in Derby there’s plenty to do outside.

If you’re stuck for activities to do this summer then maybe it is time to try out a new outdoor sport. Across Derby Parks there’s a host of activities to keep people fit and healthy.

At Markeaton Park people looking for something a little different can try Footgolf, the latest craze that replaces a golf ball with a football and a club with your foot. Footgolf is a great way to get active whilst trying something new, with a group of friends, colleagues or family on the 9 hole course at Markeaton Park.

For golf novice’s looking to get into golf, now is the perfect time to try out golf at Allestree Golf Course.
