Passport to parks
Passports to parks can help you explore Leicester's parks. Follow the clues in the passport to find the brass rubbing-style plaques on Leicester's best parks. Rub the plaque into your passport and return it to us to receive a free family pass to any of our leisure centres. When you have collected five or more rubbings from at least five different parks, fill in your name and address on the back page to claim your free family pass to a council-run leisure centre. Send the whole passport to:
Parks and Open Spaces, FREEPOST (LE9 85/14), Park House, Abbey Park, Abbey Park Road, Leicester LE4 5AQ
You can download your passport at the bottom of this page.
