Looking for something fun to do with Dad this Father’s Day? Pack up the family and head to Kokoda Memorial Park in Kensington on Sunday 6 September for Eat Drink Play | Father’s Day, a free community celebration filled with food, live music, games and activities for the whole family.
Running from 11am to 3pm, the event is an easy way to make a day of Father’s Day without having to organise everything yourself. Whether you’re celebrating Dad, Grandpa, Stepdad or another special father figure, there’ll be plenty happening to keep everyone entertained.
Challenge Dad to a Round of Mini Golf
A little family competition is always fun, and Dad can put his skills to the test with free mini golf in the park.
Kids can challenge Dad to a round — although whether you let him win on Father’s Day is entirely up to you!
Dad Can Even Get a Free Haircut
Here’s an unusual Father’s Day bonus: there’ll be a complimentary barber service available at the event.
So if Dad has been putting off that haircut, this could be his chance to sit back and get a fresh new look while enjoying his Father’s Day outing.
Bring the Bikes Along
If there are a few bikes sitting in the garage that could do with some attention before spring, bring them along too.
The event includes a free bike service and workshop, giving families the opportunity to get their bikes checked while picking up some useful bike maintenance skills.
It could also be the perfect excuse to get the whole family back on their bikes as the warmer weather arrives.
Food, Music and a Relaxed Afternoon in the Park
Father’s Day doesn’t necessarily need to mean an expensive restaurant or a complicated family outing.
Grab something tasty from one of the food truck pop-ups, find a spot in the park and enjoy the live music and community atmosphere.
With activities for the kids and plenty of outdoor space, Eat Drink Play offers families a relaxed alternative for celebrating Father’s Day together.
