The
Brisbane City Council Active Parks program offers a work out for your body, your mind and even your spirit. This initiative provides a range of experiences for the residents of Brisbane, with some activities for 2011 including Zumba, tree climbing, stand up paddling, fishing and pilates in the park.
The Active Parks program takes place in parks and venues around Brisbane and includes a selection of sporting activities, arts and crafts classes, martial arts lessons and thrill seeking recreations. There's something different to do every week and a range of different schemes suited to certain demographics:
