Connecting communities
Cambridge Sport Lakes Trust is committed to Educational and Community outreach.
Sports programmes in each of the featured sports at Cambridge Country Park and Sport Lakes will be integral elements of activities at the Park. We will provide high quality facilities and a safe environment where these sports can be developed further in conjunction with registered clubs and school satellite clubs.
We are currently offering sporting opportunities in local schools and clubs through a programme of educational and community outreach. It is our aim to create better access to outdoor sport, leisure and education and to development pathways for the community, in order to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.
