Hundreds of people descended on Landseer Park in Ipswich for the Great Ipswich Play Day in 1981.
We sent one of our photographers along to the park to capture the fun in action.
This picture gallery looks back at the event, which took place more than three decades ago.
There was something for everyone, from a treasure hunt and face painting to trampolines, rides, stalls and multiple football tournaments.
To top off the day there was a parachute display to wow the crowds below – with brave jumpers landing in the park.
