The Maude Street Mall will be alive with children’s activities on Saturday 21 September, as part of Greater Shepparton City Council’s newest monthly mall activation, Kids Space.
The launch of Kids Space will coincide with the first day of the school holidays, with the activation to then take place on the third Saturday of every month.
There will be different activities each month for the children of Greater Shepparton, with an animal nursery and face painting headlining the first event.
The purpose of the new concept is to enhance the monthly Saturday activation in the Maude Street Mall, provide fun free activities for kids, enhance the shopping experience in the mall and create an exciting and entertaining atmosphere.
Council’s Place Manager Bonnie McIntosh encouraged local parents and children to get involved.
“Kids Space will be a spot where families can come and interact and socialise and hang out with their friends,” she said.
“It will be a space local parents can entertain their children and get them outside and active.
“Our latest monthly activation Culture Corner has been a huge success, and we want to continue with the momentum of creating some atmosphere and activity in the Maude Street Mall.”
“Kids Space will never be the same from month-to-month, so I encourage our local families to keep an eye out for updates as to what they can expect. We can’t wait to see everyone at our first Kids Space event on 21 September.”
Kids Space will be held from 10am to 2pm on the third Saturday of every month.
