Members of the St Albans Sports Club, with support from the Brimbank council, are hosting a free family fun day on January 18 for all community members to enjoy.

From inflatables, a petting zoo, to a super slide, and bungee trampolines, there is something for everyone.

According to the club’s Sheree Cantelmi, the initiative provides an opportunity for residents to have fun without worrying about the economic burden.

“[We’re hoping] to bring the community together especially when cost of living is so excessive and many people are doing it tough,” she said.

“The day is supposed to allow families a cost effective way of entertaining their children on the school holidays.”

Ms Cantelmi said there was no shortage of activities for attendees.

“It provides five hours of entertainment for children as well as a fun day out for all,” she said.

“We also have some market stalls with hopes to promote local and small businesses.

“It also helps that this year we are having the event on the oval, so it allows for more space, more parking and even more entertainment than [previous] years.”

The event will kick off at noon at Kings Park Reserve, with additional parking available via Magnolia Avenue.
