Play Day at Boyd

50 local families flocked to the Boyd Community Hub on March 18 for the inaugural Boyd Play Day.

The free event, which was developed off the “Pop-Up Park and Play” model that had been trialled earlier this year in Docklands and North Melbourne, was aimed at providing families with a fun opportunity to connect with each other.

It featured everything from book making, story time and arts and crafts through to outdoor activities, pot planting workshops and a visit from the local toy library.

Organisers labeled the day as an “overwhelming success” thanks to a collaborative effort.

The next Boyd Play Day will be held on Thursday, July 2 from 10am until 12 noon.

The Boyd team is planning its program of activities and events for July 2015 through to July 2016 and is interested in hearing about your ideas.

If you have any bright ideas or thoughts on what the team could be providing the Southbank community at Boyd please email community animator Nadine Ford at [email protected]
