🌈 Play, connect and explore

Parents and carers can bring children aged 0–5 to this local playgroup for shared play and an opportunity to connect with other families. Sessions are listed for Tuesday and Thursday mornings, while Friday’s session is for babies aged 0–1. New families can try three visits before deciding whether to join.

Hotham Park

Head to Wuraming Avenue for outdoor recreation suited to different ages. The park has a fenced toddler playground, equipment for older children, a flying fox, skatepark, pump track and basketball court. Barbecues, picnic tables and public toilets make longer family outings more practical.
