Celebrating native wildlife in The Hills

In recognition of the recent World Environment Day on 5 June, we’re shining a light on the wonderful native creatures that can be found in and around The Hills region. 

From well-known native fauna such as koalas, wallabies and echidnas, to more elusive animals such as brushtail and ringtail possums, owls, and a wide range of other native birds, not to mention friendly blue-tongued lizards, there is plenty to see in our local bushland reserves. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled and try to be as quiet as you can whilst out on your next bushwalk, and you may be fortunate enough to spot our native animals or hear their calls. 

Did you know? Blue-tongued lizards act as a valuable pest control service around your home, snacking on snails, caterpillars, insects, and other garden pests.

Looking for something fun and active to do with the kids these July school holidays? Our friends at Stage Door Performing Arts will be running special ‘Dance Magic' school holiday workshops on 5 and 12 July in the colourful surrounds of Bella Vista Pocket Park. 

Starting at 10am both days, these 45-minute classes are open to children aged up to 8 years, and offer a fun and engaging introduction to dance while fostering important physical, social, and emotional skills. 

Young skaters design their own decks with Totem Skate

.

Last month we invited kids down to our Bella Vista Pocket Park for a special workshop with the team from Totem Skate Collective, where they had the opportunity to paint their own skateboard design with Sydney artist Joel Cameron.  

As you can see, our young artists came up with some amazing designs - and better yet, every participant got to take their board home with them! 

If you’d like to join in all the skating fun, Totem offers free Learn to Skate workshops on the first Saturday of each month at Bella Vista Pocket Park - simply sign up via the link on our website. 

The Hills gets sporty with the FitDistrict Games

FitDistrict is committed to improving the health and fitness of people across The Hills District, with the team recently celebrating the first anniversary of their studio adjacent to Bella Vista Metro Station.

To mark the occasion, FitDistrict ran a single day fitness competition, the District Games, where the community came together to participate in a range of fitness activities, from tug-of-war challenges to relay races. 

With a BBQ lunch and prizes also on offer, this was a great event that promoted health, fitness, and community spirit in Bella Vista, and we look forward to seeing more activities like this in future.
