Family Fun Day at Long Beach Reserve playground

Join us for games and a free sausage sizzle to celebrate this year's International Day of People with Disability. We'll have fun with the new inclusive play equipment at Long Beach Reserve playground, a beautiful spot looking out over Little Sandy Bay. This is one of Hobart's most loved playgrounds and a great venue to celebrate our accessible and inclusive free family fun day that everyone can enjoy! We've teamed up with Variety - the Children's Charity Tasmania to put on the event. Action starts at 11.30am and finishes at 1.30pm. We'll have foam filled bean bags at the event so you can kick back and relax, and an Auslan interpreter for the official opening. Explore the new, accessible play equipment installed earlier this year, including a Smooth Ship Glider, with plenty of space for a person in a wheelchair and their mates, and a 5-way swing that brings together kids of all abilities. We also installed a ‘chat board’, designed by Variety Tasmania and inspired by Hobart Children’s Mayor Noah Dobson, who wants to introduce chat boards into every playground in Hobart to help non-speaking kids communicate with others.
