Parks Week 2014

Overview

Maybe your local park is your exercise zone, maybe it’s part of your dog-walking routine, maybe it’s your favourite spot for a beery picnic... or maybe you walk past it every night after work without giving it a second thought.

Whatever the case, this week is Parks Week, a national celebration of all the fun our green spaces bring us. It's the perfect time to commune with nature a li'l bit and get involved in some of the free activities on offer.

For the fitness freaks there's free personal training sessions, swim assessments and a biathlon. Those who more inclined to gentler exercise can take a guided tour of Hyde Park or Glebe foreshore, with City Parks staff at hand to point out some cool stuff. To check out the full list of activities head to the official site. For most things you can just rock up on the day, but a few require you to register in advance.
