All funds raised on the day will go towards supporting the wonderful work on the Evans Park Committee who have created a superb space for community leisure and recreation in partnership with BVSC.

HOW DO WE GET THERE?

That's up to you but you can cycle, walk, jog, scoot or ride your mobility assistance device and try out the new shared path :-). That's what this is all about!! Young riders should be supervised by an accompanying adult.

Remember it is a SHARED path so ride safely and look out for the steep grades and other hazards on the descent to Kalaru. Be considerate to ALL path users. If you haven't exercised recently and are unsure of fitness, the usual message is to seek professional health advice before embarking on a new exercise regime like climbing Evans Hill!

Free giveaways include 100 Towards Zero drink bottles from Transport for NSW
