A FREE fun day was held in Launceston’s Coronation Park on Saturday, October 8, to celebrate the success of a voluntary smoking ban in the park.

The fun day was organised by the Smokefree Cornwall tobacco control alliance, which brought in the voluntary scheme to stub out smoking in seven of Cornwall’s play parks a year ago.

Special signage in the Coronation Park — as well as St Austell’s Roche Play Park, Looe’s Millpool Park, Penzance’s Goldsithney Park, King George V Park in Four Lanes, St Austell’s Sandy Hill Park and Thorn Park in Liskeard — requests that children be allowed to play smokefree.
