IT’S almost school holiday time and although we are in the midst of winter, rugging up and getting outside in the cooler months is relatively stress-free, once you get moving, you’re warmed up and able to make the most of getting some fresh air.
Studies demonstrate that children who spend time in free play outdoors have an increased interest in physical activity and are more likely to make healthy lifestyle choices in adolescence and adulthood.
Enjoying play time in nature helps build a child’s learning and focusing skills, supports their immune systems, lowers stress, reduces anxiety, supports healthy eyesight development, increases problem solving ability, encourages independent thinking and creativity.
Open from dawn till dusk every day, KidsTown Playground encompasses over five acres, with different play spaces for various ages and designated BBQ and picnic areas, rendering outdoor play easy with such a great facility located in our region.
During the school holidays, The Dig In Café will be open from 10am until 3pm and the Miniature Railway Train will run from 11am until 2pm also (please note, café and train hours are subject to change during severe weather conditions).
KidsTown will be running free, story time sessions in collaboration with GV Libraries on Tuesday 29 June, with one 10am session and another at 11am. Both sessions will include story time reading, songs and craft. Pre-registrations will be required for this activity.
