Spring is almost here and we'll be welcoming the season with a Spring Picnic on Sunday 10th September in Hazelwood Park. It's a bring-your-own food and drinks picnic and we'll be meeting near the playground from 12 noon. Everyone is welcome!

If coming by bus, alight at stop 13 on Greenhill Road and walk about 500m to the picnic spot.

The park has spacious grassed areas, BBQs, playground, duck pond, walking trails and toilets.
