Hear what peak body Parks and Leisure have to say about their recent success....

We won!! The Active in Parks website has taken home the blue ribbon for Parks and Leisure Vic/Tas Region’s Awards of Excellence: Use of Technology!

Parks and Leisure Australia’s 2015 Award of Excellence: Use of Technology was announced as part of the 2015 Victoria/Tasmania regional conference in Ballarat on 29th April. The Active in Parks website will now be eligible for the national award, to be announced at the Parks and Leisure national conference in Sydney in late October, 2015.

People and Parks Foundation’s Active in Parks has THE online resource dedicated to all things active outdoors. We want to keep everyone informed about outdoor activities and events happening all over Australia via #WhatsOnOutdoors. We are also committed to providing individuals, community groups and other service providers with a one-stop-shop to register and promote their own activities/events through this same database.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our supporters and partners who have helped realise this fantastic project. In particular, we’d like to thank our sponsor Medibank Community Fund for their incredible support. Thanks also to Symplicit for their work behind the scenes developing the website. We’d also like to thank Parks Victoria, Barwon Medicare Local, New South Wales Parks and Wildlife Services, and Starwin Management as our major partners, and thanks must also go to all of our supporting partners, too many to list, but you can find them all here.
