It was a lot bigger than I remember with endless sporting clubs and activities on offer. Softball, Cricket, Rugby, Bmx and Mountain biking just to name a few.

The water did not look that inviting. All the recent rain and local water run off left it looking a brown muddy color.

The Wetlands Board walk prefect for a stroll to connect with some nature, we saw a small turtle but I wasn’t fast enough to get a photo.

Netball is another of the many team sports operating in park which is getting very popular nowadays. The National Netball competition is fast and exciting and is well worth watching live or on television.

The event was themed Anything goes Super Hero’s, Lots of people got dressed up and it was great fun. Yes that is Caroline @consciouscat who ran the 5km bare foot and in a dress in 25 minutes 14 seconds. The fantastic Photos are by the parkrun volunteer photographer. I was testing out my Hive rising star game hat for the first time.

Looks like a great run through a terrific park. And it was indeed pretty fortuitous for the Dragon to have moved to a more accessible spot for a photo... lol

Quite an interesting collection of people, too! haha

Cheers!
