Movie Screening of SING

 After one Covid cancellation in 2020, the premier of Beanbag Cinema at Moonee Valley Park was a sell-out success! Melbourne families enjoyed a night at the movies unlike any other on Saturday 26th March at Moonee Valley Racecourse with a special screening of family favourite, SING. 

Around 500 people attended the sold-out event with adults and kids alike being entertained by costumed characters roaming and ready for happy snaps, as well as an arts and crafts station, face painting and balloon twisting, with games from Kelly Sports. 

Guests got to experience the racecourse like never before, with VIP seats viewing the screen from the track itself, with a stunning twilight backdrop of the Melbourne CBD just 6km away. 

Movie-goers snacked on food and beverages from the Food Collective by Dean & McPherson and Tulloch Diner, with each guest receiving free popcorn on arrival. 

“We were so excited to see the community’s response to this stellar event with all tickets sold out. This will help us get to know locals and cultivate a program of memorable experiences at Moonee Valley Park in the future,” said Matt Malseed, Managing Director of property developer Hamton. 

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 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.
