You would be hard pressed to find a more dedicated group of people than those in the Hammond Park Community Association. HPCA has worked for many months with council to have fitness equipment installed at Botany Park. We are so excited to announce that it is now open to the community to use at their leisure! So come on down and make the most of this wonderful facility.

The Jandakot Flyers Little Athletics Club train twice a week at Botany Park and with a club motto of ‘Family, Fun, Fitness’ there’s no excuse for the whole family not to get involved! The state championships are just around the corner and we wish all competitors the very best of luck. Training for the winter season starts mid-April, with competition beginning on 7 May and running through until mid-August.
