Parks Week will run from 9 to 17 March with a wide range of events designed to encourage Toowoomba Region residents to enjoy their neighbourhood parks and open recreation spaces. Local park activities will include fitness classes for adults and kids, walking groups, park runs and much more.

Parks and open spaces are valuable to our Region and help support physical and mental wellbeing through healthy and active lifestyles. Our parks also provide environmental benefits and connect communities by providing places where people come together for leisure.

Parks Week is celebrated throughout Australia and New Zealand as a combined initiative of New Zealand Recreation Association and Parks and Leisure Australia.

Bookings are required to participate in most Parks Week events. Go to www.tr.qld.gov.au/parksweek for more details.
