Proserpine Gets Active!

Local families were feeling fortunate after a full day of free fun at Proserpine’s Pioneer Park for the Whitsunday Regional Council Get Active Family Fun Day.

The successful Whitsunday Regional Council facilitated mental health and wellbeing event invited the community out to enjoy workshops, fitness activities, games, food, information, and entertainment from local organisations.

Activities ranged from live music, sports booths, non-for-profit information stalls, face painting at the second Get Active event of the year, and the region’s third ever.

Parents enjoyed a bit of “relaxation time” as children went wild on the jumping castle, employed their burgeoning artistic skills with crafts, or braved a meeting with some of the Whitsundays’ local wildlife – a beautiful, opalescent snake.

Council will host two more Get Active events: Airlie Beach, Sunday, April 2; and Bowen, Saturday, April 15.

The Get Active Family Fun Day initiative is funded by the Queensland Government, Mental Health and Wellbeing Community Package under Queensland's Economic Recovery Strategy.
