Get down to your local participating park to take part in the Let's Get Moving Active Adventure starting on 23 May - 5 June. With the help of Active Together's local authority partners, seven letters are hidden in each of the participating eight parks across Leicestershire & Rutland.

Our local participating park is:

• Blaby Road Park, Blaby Road, Wigston, LE18 4LB

Using cryptic clues and "what3words" locations, you will be directed around your local park until you've collected all seven letters. You'll then need to unscramble the letters to reveal the magic word. You can then enter your guess online and be in with a chance of winning some fantastic prizes worth over £1000 in total!

In the Grand Prize Draw, correct entrants could win one of 35 individual prizes ranging from; a Fitbit Charge 4, family tickets to a Riders Basketball league game, a pair of tickets to a Leicestershire County Cricket T20 match, an Activity Session Voucher for the Outdoor Pursuits Centre and a family ticket to watch the Tigers play.

Correct entrants will also be entered into the park specific prize draw depending on which park they visited for the challenge. These prizes are locally based and can be found listed below!

The aim of Let's Get Moving Active Adventure is to encourage Leicestershire and Rutland residents, with a particular focus on families, to get outside and enjoy their local parks over the half term holiday and the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend. The walk should last around 15 minutes and all signs will be easily visible when following the clues and what3words locations.

What is 'what3words'?

what3words is a digital geocoding system that allows you to pinpoint exact locations throughout the entire planet, by typing in three simple words.

what3words has divided the entire globe into little squares, that are three by three meters. Each square is identified by words in a unique order, for example, the location for 10 Downing Street is slurs. this. shark.
