Walk and Wonder
Featuring local Lane Cove bush walks of approximately 1.5 hours, easy to moderate grade. We walk on the third Sunday afternoon of the month. Our groups are intergenerational and multicultural. Many of our walkers are 50+ but we also have younger adults and families join us and find the children engage very well. We enjoy discussion over shared snacks mid-way. The only cost is contributing a snack to the common 'table'. Games in the Park Join us for some fun at Helen Street reserve, Lane Cove North each last Sunday of the month 2.30- 5pm. There are games such as table tennis, volleyball, bocce, giant chess, family and children's activities so that everyone can join in - or watch if they prefer. Also some free fitness sessions by generous local providers. Each 'games day' varies a little in what is being offered by our generous community. Our Neighbour Day Games in the Park was visited by 'Ask the Doctor' and shown on ABC TV on 9/7/19 (the Loneliness episode). It can be viewed here . Explore
