Outdoor games added to our Library of Things

Published on 23 April 2026

Planning a day in the park or looking for a fun activity to share with friends and family? Maribyrnong Libraries now offer Finska, Bocce and disc golf kits for members to borrow for free with their library card. 

These kits are perfect for outdoor gatherings, weekend adventures or trying something new without needing to buy equipment. Here’s a quick look at what you can borrow:

• Finska: An ancient Finnish game, it's a unique and seriously addictive outdoor activity that will provide great entertainment at the beach, the park or in your own backyard. A race to exactly 50 points, where every game is different, Finska requires both strategy and skill to defeat your opponent and claim victory.

• Bocce: A timeless favourite. Bocce is all about rolling your balls closest to the small target ball (the pallino). It’s relaxed, social and suitable for all ages ideal for lawns, parks or even a flat patch of backyard.

• Disc Golf: Think golf, but with flying discs. Players aim for metal baskets instead of holes, using different discs for distance, accuracy and putting. It’s active, addictive and a fantastic way to explore local parks.

All kits are free to borrow. You can place a hold online, then collect for your preferred branch.
