Over 200

Activities

FREE & low cost activities in Greater Shepparton

Council’s award winning Activities in the Park program encourages Greater Shepparton residents to get out and

be active in our local parks.Activities in the Park offers over 200 free and low

cost activities for everyone to enjoy. There is a range of interesting and exciting activities to help you stay

healthy, active and connected in Greater Shepparton.I would like to especially recognise and give thanks to

our sponsors Tatura Milk Industries, Unilever and Parks Victoria.

I look forward to hearing about the success of this program and hope you are able to participate.

“In order for me to give my maximum in training and competition it’s extremely important to lead a healthy lifestyle, which not only incorporates fuellingyour body with healthy foods and water, but enough sleep and keeping active to encourage a healthy mind as well as body.I juggle a busy netball schedule for both the Melbourne Vixens and England National side so it’s vital i maintain a balanced lifestyle.Making time and being organised is key, knowing when to have a break and to enjoy the simple things of being active and getting outdoors.After all it’s a great way for me as a non-local to meet and make friends with new people in the community.”

It’s great weather to get active, but don’t forget to protect yourself from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays.

The peak sun protection season in Victoria is from September to the end of April. To check the daily protection times go to sunsmart.com.au or download the free SunSmart app.

Overexposure to UV rays can cause eye damage, sunburn, premature ageing, and skin damage that can lead to skin cancer. In Australia, sunburn can occur in as little as 11 minutes on a fine summer’s day.

Protect your skin using a combination of these five easy steps:

Slip on sun-protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible

Slop on SPF30 or higher broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen 20 minutes before you head outside. Make sure you reapply every two hours.

Slap on a broad-brimmed hat that shades the face, neck and ears.

Seek shade, especially during the middle of the day when UV levels are highest

Slide on wrap-around sunglasses - labelled AS 1067

For more information, visit sunsmart.com.au or call Cancer Council Victoria on 13 11 20.
