Discover Leeming: parks, PHAZE and workshops

Several specific themes in Leeming can help you plan your trip: Montague Hillary Park for medium-sized events, two green spaces with contrasting landscapes, PHAZE at Leeming Skate Park, and Leeming Community Hall as a venue for hire for workshops. Start by deciding on the occasion. A family gathering, an interest in bushland and lawns, or an event for young people will lead to different considerations.

Green spaces with distinct characters

Montague Hillary Park is suitable for medium-sized events, including family gatherings and children’s birthday parties. If you are planning such a gathering, this purpose provides a clear starting point: first check whether the setting suits your plans. This helps distinguish the park from the two green spaces where bushland and the shape of the grounds are the main features.

Robert Weir Park is a medium-sized remnant of native bushland on the western boundary of Leeming Senior High School. Peter Ellis Reserve presents a different picture: it is a large grassy area bordered by natural bushland, and adjoins Leeming Senior High School and the Farrington Road Shopping precinct. The contrast is between a bushland remnant on the school’s western edge and a large grassy area with natural bushland along its boundaries. The two green spaces differ in both size and vegetation. If you would like to get to know Leeming’s landscape, this distinction offers a practical starting point: you can consider the medium-sized bushland remnant and the expansive grassy area with bushland borders separately, rather than treating them as the same kind of green space.

PHAZE: dates and age group

PHAZE is for young people aged 12 to 25 and takes place at Leeming Skate Park on the last Sunday of each month in eight months of the year. The exact Sunday therefore matters when choosing a date: the program does not run throughout the year, but in eight months. The sessions are free for this age group; lunch, paints and all other materials are provided. The items provided may change, so check in advance if they are important to your plans. For families with teenagers aged 12 to 25, PHAZE can be a specific activity to include; when travelling with people of different ages, the age range helps you decide whether it is suitable.

The Community Hall for workshops

Leeming Community Hall can be hired as a venue for workshops. If you would like to organise a workshop yourself, you can include the hall in your plans as a place to hold it. Unlike PHAZE, the focus here is not on an age-specific schedule but on hiring a venue for your own workshop. Booking arrangements may change, so confirm the specific details before making the workshop a firm part of your trip plans.
