Anfield to open family friendly zones
Liverpool FC today announced they will be creating two new family friendly zones at Anfield in time for the new season.
'The Family Zone' will be a designated family friendly area located in the Anfield Road Upper tier on match days. The adult and child section aims to engage, interact and share the history of the club with families while ensuring their match day experience is one to remember.
The second zone is a new 'Family Park', which will be open to families pre and post-match and will have a range of entertainment to keep youngsters occupied including interactive activities.
The Family Park will stay open after the game to ensure families have a fun place to go while avoiding the post-match traffic. It will be located between the food village and Anfield Road car park and entry is free to all families who have a match-day ticket.
Jan Brown, LFC Supporters' Committee family representative said: "This is a fantastic step forward for the club.
"It's great Liverpool recognises that families and children are important and are investing in providing a fun, safe and secure match-day experience and entertainment. I am delighted the club is creating these two zones which is a really positive step forward."
Andrew Parkinson, Liverpool FC's operations director said: "Providing a family friendly enjoyable match-day atmosphere is a high priority for the club and we are delighted to be able to make these developments at Anfield.
"Families can expect a welcoming, sociable atmosphere where they can interact with each other and not only enjoy some top-class football, but the wonderful entertainment provided within these areas.
"We believe it is important to continue to improve the match-day experience for families and our aim is for them enjoy their match-day experience and want to come back time and again.
"We are delighted with this new venture and are looking forward to welcoming new and existing families to Anfield next season."
