About Families for Life Picnics

1.       What is the event about? 
First started in October 2014, the year-round picnics organised by Families for Life Council provide families with the opportunity to have fun outdoors, while spending quality time together. The picnics were held at heartland parks and have received great response from the public. This year, families can look forward to bigger and better picnics with more programming for families.

2.       Where is the event held? 
Families for Life picnics are usually held at heartland parks and community spaces. Please check the event page for the respective picnic venues.
