Blockbuster movies, live music, interactive art, jumping castles, kid’s workshops, outdoor games and activities are all part of the annual Family Movie Night series returning to Parramatta’s local parks next month.
Families can enjoy a picnic and free screening of hit movies including Wicked, Despicable Me 4, IF, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and The Wild Robot with plenty of outdoor games, kid’s workshops and creative activities from 11-27 April.
City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Martin Zaiter said the Family Movie Nights were a great way to enjoy the school holidays without breaking the budget.
“It’s getting harder for families to find fun yet affordable things to do during the school holidays, so we’re making life easier by putting on these much-loved events for our community,” Cr Zaiter said.
“There’s plenty of family-friendly activities for all ages to enjoy, from arts and craft workshops, live music and entertainment to sports games and even an obstacle course for our beloved pooches – the best thing is you won’t have to travel far.”
While families can pack a picnic basket and blanket, each site will also have pizza, popcorn, ice cream and coffee on offer for those who are looking forward to tasty treats from local food stalls.
Cr Zaiter said Parramatta is home to some of the best parks and open spaces in Western Sydney.
“We’re proud of our parks including the recently transformed F.S Garside Park that has multi-use sports courts, a BMX pump track, a new playground and nature play space and a flying fox,” Cr Zaiter said.
“This is about making sure everyone in our community has access to great facilities and affordable activities within our City.
“Come early, explore and enjoy all the activities, grab a bite and then relax as you enjoy a free movie screening under the stars.”
