Join welcoming and inclusive events designed for our whole community. Come together to connect with nature, spark creativity and embrace wellbeing through a series of accessible winter events and activities.
These programs are designed to be inclusive of various abilities, with designated parking, accessible bathrooms, and well-maintained pathways available. Activities can be adapted to support participants of varying abilities, and some tasks involving fine motor skills or dexterity may just need a little extra assistance.

| These programs are designed to be flexible and inclusive, with adjustments available to support different needs. Some activities involving fine motor skills could require a helping hand. In outdoor areas, assistance may be needed for wheelchair movement on Grade 1 paths, a slight re-routing of the original activity, and a few areas of the Arboretum may have limited access. Please get in touch at arboretum@act.gov.au, or phone 6274 8484 to discuss how these programs can be adapted to your visit. |
