SANTA AT THE VALLEY

MVRC Members joined us for the official Junior Jock Christmas Party.

Santa joined us at The Valley for our celebrations in December as our Junior Jock members join us at The Valley for the official Christmas Party.

It was an incredible afternoon of family-friendly fun. Junior Jock members had a chance to meet Santa and his elves and take a photo, and they received a special Christmas gift. There was plenty of entertainment, including face painting and a visit from our Junior Jock mascot, Crossword.

BEANBAG CINEMA

Presented to you by Moonee Valley Park

The event wasn't just about the movie. There was a range of entertainment for the children, including Balloon artists who skilfully crafted colourful creations and face painting. Meanwhile, a live DJ set the mood with catchy tunes, ensuring there was never a dull moment.

TOTE PARK NOW OPEN

The new 5,000sqm civic park is delivered. Tote Park is one of the cornerstones of the vision for Moonee Valley Park, a new neighbourhood set within a grand botanical garden. Tote Park offers 67 new mature trees, 315 shrubs and around 4,000 groundcover plants. Tote Park, designed by Tract Landscape Architects, features open grassy lawns with serpentine gardens, nature-inspired playground for families and stunning flower beds where visitors can relax in the sun or the shade, unwind and get active.

WINX STATUE

Winx takes pride of place as one of the Tote Park centrepieces. Acclaimed Melbourne sculptor Louis Laumen has immortalised many Australian sporting greats and was the most appropriate person to commemorate Winx in bronze.
