We’re thrilled to announce the official opening of our brand-new Seniors Exercise Parks at Wally Tew Reserve in Ferntree Gully and Marie Wallace Park in Bayswater.
Both outdoor spaces are designed to support healthy ageing, social connection, and active living for older adults in our community. More than just a place to exercise – they’re a hub for connection, laughter, and lifelong wellbeing. With specially designed equipment tailored to the needs of older adults, the parks offer a safe and enjoyable environment to improve strength, balance, flexibility, and overall health.
You’re invited to come along and celebrate this exciting milestone with us!
