Every week, at more than 50 local parks across Brisbane, residents are enjoying mostly free activities, from art to group fitness sessions, as part of Brisbane City Council’s Active Parks program.
The Active Parks program offers something for everyone. Whether you’re six months, six years or sixty there’s an activity for you. Apart from the sheer enjoyment of getting out and having fun in some of the city’s great “green” locations, you’ll also benefit from better health, improved well being, personal interaction and enhanced skills.
Brisbane enjoys a fantastic climate, perfect for outdoor recreation – make the most of it!
