Observing Physical Activity in East Belfast

Thanks to the help of 20+ volunteers, we spent last week observing approx. 2000 people using the parks in East Belfast.


After two day training, the team were ready and spent 4 hours per day counting the number of people using the greenway and recording what they were doing.

The method we were using is called SOPARC (System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities). We plan to repeat this the first week in February 2011 if your interested in getting involved!
