Parks Week will be held 2–9 March 2026 to celebrate the vital role parks and open spaces play in creating liveable cities and thriving communities. Active Maribyrnong will join organisations across the country to deliver a vibrant program of free, inclusive activities that highlight how spending time in nature supports physical health, mental wellbeing and social connection.
The week invites people of all ages and abilities to get outdoors, move, explore and connect with nature in Maribyrnong’s beautiful parks and open spaces. Whether you’re looking to be active, relax, or spend time with others, Parks Week is an opportunity to celebrate the power of green spaces and rediscover the joy of our local parks. Registrations will open Sunday 15 February 2026.
Check out the table of events and come along to Clean Up Australia Day to kick off the day before!
