Get active in Maribyrnong this spring and summer 2024

Published on 01 November 2024

As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, it’s the perfect time to discover fun, new, and wide-ranging health and wellbeing options throughout the municipality – completely free – as part of upcoming Active Maribyrnong initiatives.

This year, Council is offering two unique programs designed to promote physical activity and wellbeing in our community: our annual Spring into Summer Series, running from Monday 11 November to Sunday 8 December 2024, and the new Maribyrnong Girls Can initiative, taking place from Sunday 10 to Sunday 17 November 2024.

Maribyrnong Girls Can links with VicHealth’s state-wide This Girl Can campaign, and is tailored specifically to meet local needs. The program aims to empower all women, regardless of age, ability, or background, to engage in physical activity through a variety of health and wellbeing programs. Inspired by feedback from local women, this year, participants can look forward to new offerings such as an Introduction to AFL, Golf, and All Aboard BMX, providing a welcoming and social space to explore new sports.

Additionally, the Spring into Summer Series will feature more than 20 diverse programs for all ages and fitness levels, including Tai Chi, Bootcamp Box, Hatha Flow Yoga, Pilates, and Zumba. Each session is led by qualified local health and fitness professionals, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for everyone. Participants can register for various programs within the series, with each program being held once a week for the 4-week duration of the series.

Participants are encouraged to invite friends and family to join the fun and support one another in trying something new to support your wellbeing and make the most of the warmer days ahead.

Registrations are essential and open on Monday 28 October 2024.
