Greater Shepparton City Council is inviting the community to come along for a twilight stroll, leaving from either Shepparton or Mooroopna, to SPC KidsTown on Friday 17 February.
Registration for the free event is from 5pm and the stroll starts at 5.30pm, with shuttle buses available for the return trip, from 6.30pm.
Participants can leave either from the Chinaman’s Gardens in Mooroopna or from the bridge behind Aquamoves.
Council’s Director Community Kaye Thomson said there would be entertainment for the whole family at KidsTown.
“The twilight stroll is a fantastic way for families to get active together,” Ms Thomson said.
“When arriving at KidsTown, there will be live music and a barbeque dinner, as well as jumping castles, RiverConnect and Playball activities, live music and miniature train rides, all provided free of charge.
“All members of the family can take part – the kids can bring along their bikes or scooters and parents can bring small children in prams.

“It’s only a short 2km stroll through the bush to KidsTown, so anyone with any level of fitness can participate.
“Local organisations Goulburn Valley Water and Primary Care Connect will be coming along and providing water and fruit for participants to enjoy throughout the night.
Participants are encouraged to bring a picnic blanket to relax on and enjoy the entertainment.
The event is part of Council’s Activities in the Park program.
Activities in the Park provides an opportunity for Greater Shepparton residents and visitors to participate in free and low cost activities outdoors in the many parks, pools and playgrounds.
