SUNDAY — 8 November, Burwood Reserve Family Social @ Burwood Reserve, Glen Iris Sun 8 Nov | Meet 9:30am | Free | Everyone welcome

We’re a week later than usual this month — we’ve hopped over the Melbourne Cup long weekend. 🌿

Second-last catch-up of the year, and a great excuse to explore Burwood Reserve if it’s new to you. We’ll start with a coffee at Ivy Lane, then wander over to the recently updated playground for a proper play-and-chat morning. Equipment spans the ages, so siblings are all looked after. Come stretch the legs, let the kids loose and enjoy a warm spring morning together before the December rush hits. Bring the whole crew — mums, dads, bubs, toddlers, grandparents. We especially love it when the dads come along!

How the morning flows (come and go as suits you)

• From 9:30am — meet at Ivy Lane, order a coffee and something to eat if you’d like (on you — we just love supporting a great local). ☕
• From ~9:50am — coffees in hand, we’ll wander over to Burwood Reserve together (about a 10-minute stroll). Want to skip the coffee? There’s plenty of parking on site, so just meet us at the playground from 10am.
• Until around 12 — kids do their thing, we do ours, and you head off whenever suits.

The weather ☀️ Update closer to the day once the forecast’s in — sun/rain, temp, and whether to pack an extra layer.

Good to know

• 🧒 Fenced from the road (Warrigal Rd side) — though not fully enclosed, so we keep the littlest ones close.
• ⛱️ Shade on site, including a covered picnic table — but still bring hats, as parents watching from the edges catch the sun.
• 🚻 Toilet and BBQ on site.
• 👦 Equipment for a range of ages, plus a little bike/scooter jumps area the bigger kids love.
• 🏏 There’s a sportsground next door (cricket, footy, tennis) — lovely to watch, just be mindful of games on and cars around at drop-off/pick-up.
• 🅿️ Plenty of on-site parking, accessed via Warrigal Rd.

Can’t find us? Look for the bunch of prams and the mums and dads all congregating together — that’s us! Come say hi. 🧡 Or message us on Instagram and we’ll come find you.

What to bring
