On April 15 from 10am to noon, participants can walk, run or ride while engaging in interactive pop-up activities at River Tales and Trails.
The activities will be spread along the 1.5km shared path between the Australian Botanic Gardens and the southern end of Tom Collins Dve behind Victoria Park Lake.

The Activities in the Park event is part of the Home for the Holidays campaign, and will feature hands-on workshops, learning experiences, wildlife watching and taxidermy displays, with children having the opportunity to create their own river passport to collect activity stamps throughout their journey.
City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali said the event was a wonderful opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy the path network, and encouraged people to explore local scenery.
“We have such an incredible path network from the Australian Botanic Gardens Shepparton all the way to Victoria Park Lake,” he said.
“If you are staying home for the holidays, this event is a fantastic opportunity to grab the family, enjoy a day outdoors, while taking advantage of the many free activities taking place at River Tales and Trails.”
RiverConnect project officer Alison Brett recommended getting out early to explore other path networks, then joining the activities at one of the two starting points in Kialla or Shepparton.
“We’re thrilled to bring River Tales and Trails to life for the first time with the help of many RiverConnect partners,” she said.
“What better way to enjoy the school holidays than out in nature, lapping up the sun and enjoying free activities for the whole family?”
