About this event

We love seeing local parks become real community hubs, and Victoria Park in Kew is no exception. This open day invites seniors and their families to try purpose-built exercise equipment in a relaxed, friendly spot, all under the guidance of knowledgeable volunteers.

Event details from City of Boroondara

Come to our open day and explore the exercise equipment for seniors at Victoria Park in Kew.

The Seniors Exercise Park has a range of outdoor exercise equipment designed to help improve balance, strength, functional movement, range of motion and mobility. It’s set under shade cloth and has accessible seating options for visitors.

A team of volunteers has trained with the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) and they’re dedicated to demonstrating how to use the equipment safely and effectively.

Seniors Exercise Park volunteers and representatives from Council’s Active Ageing team will be onsite from 10am to 11:30am, giving visitors the opportunity to try the equipment.

Please register for one of the 20-minute sessions below:

After trying the exercise equipment, you will be able to enjoy a complimentary snack and coffee.

Ongoing sessions

After the open day, our volunteers will continue to host regular Come and Try sessions at the Seniors Exercise Park on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:30am-11am. These sessions will also be free of charge and suitable for older adults of all fitness levels. These sessions do not run on public holidays or during inclement weather conditions.
