Park Street Update: Events May 8-14

Wattle Park proved popular last weekend; and we have another fantastic map and course in store, at Tatterson in Keysborough, next Saturday May 11.  You’ll receive a full colour map with 23 controls, most of which are in parkland.  The famous Tree Maze will be a feature, along with many lakes, bridges, wetlands and open spaces – perfect for spotting ducks!  We’re starting from Church Reserve, a lovely park with a playground and picnic shelter, sandwiched between Harlequin Drive and Tulip Way. By relocating away from our usual start in Tatterson Park, we’ve freed it up to place heaps of controls in there.

Registration opens at 1.30pm – please check in and pay as soon as you arrive, and avoid the 1.55pm rush! Make sure you’re ready to start at 2pm. Choose from a 60 minute or 45 minute Run, or a 65 minute Power Walk – and be ready to earn as many points as you can, without being late!  CakeO has resurged this season, so please keep bringing those yummy plates of afternoon tea. Hot water etc provided.

We have some great night time events this week too, including the reappearance of the dreaded Vortex of Doom at Wheelers Hill!
