Activities for seniors

Walking basketball is a low-impact, social and fun way to improve your levels of physical activity. It's suitable for inactive or slightly active seniors aged 50 years and over, including those recovering from injury. We invite you to learn the game and play in a fun, social and safe environment. No skills required!

Come for a stroll and reduce your mental load with our free community walking group. Our walking group is inclusive, supportive and flexible. This is a great opportunity to connect with your local community and enjoy a home-cooked meal. You don't need to register for the walks, just join us whenever you feel like it.

Walking Basketball is a slower and more social version of traditional basketball. It is suitable for participants of all ages, genders, and abilities, providing optimal health benefits to all who participate. The program is designed to decrease the risk factors associated with sedentary behaviour and offers a level playing field for everyone within a social, fun, and non-competitive environment. Every Wednesday, 10am at Boroondara Sports Complex.
