The Active Golden Plains Sport and Rec Fest is coming to Golden Plains to generate awareness of activities available in Golden Plains.
Community members can try out a range of activities during two Rec Fest events in Bannockburn and Smythesdale, including football, golf, bowls, tennis, dance, gyms, fishing groups, and basketball.
Golden Plains Shire Mayor Owen Sharkey said the Rec Fest was a chance for local clubs and groups to host a demonstration, interactive activity or display.
“There are plenty of ways to showcase the wide range of sport, recreation and community activity options available across the shire,” he said.
“I encourage community members to come down to one or both events and have a go at the activities, as this is a great opportunity to try something new or something out of your comfort zone.
“We had an incredible response from local sporting clubs, groups and providers who were interested in running activities at the Rec Fest, and we’re thrilled to welcome over 20 groups at both events.”
The Rec Fest is an initiative of Active Golden Plains and will aim to empower residents to explore physical and recreational activities offered by the region’s clubs, groups and providers.
The two events will be held at Smythesdale’s Woady Yaloak Recreation Reserve from 10am on Saturday 21 February, and Bannockburn’s Recreation Precinct Soccer Pavilion from 10am on 14 March.
