About this Event
Join us in the Waterside for a relaxing Slow Sunday afternoon at Woodburn Urban Park — a chance to unwind, connect, and enjoy a gentle day outdoors with your community.
Bring a blanket, settle in, and soak up the calm atmosphere as the park becomes a space for creativity, conversation, and simple pleasures.
There’s plenty to explore throughout the day. The Conservation Volunteers will host free, hands-on workshops for all ages, including making upcycled wind chimes and bug hotels from reclaimed materials, as well as sunflower seed planting to take home. They’ll also be on hand for informal Q&A sessions, sharing practical tips on composting and rainwater harvesting.

Don’t miss the best Waterside baker competition: Bake ON! at 1:30pm, where local amateur bakers are invited to showcase their creations, judged by Laurent Pirone of Oui Bakery, based at the Craft Village. to submit your bake and then just take it along with you on the day!
Warm up with free hot drinks and a tasty treat from The Coffee Cart, or take a mindful moment at the Slow Drawing session with artist Cara Donaghey from 1-2pm. Through contour and continuous line techniques, participants will create abstract drawings inspired by their surroundings—an invitation to slow down, observe, and enjoy the creative process.
Join Music Kin from 2-3pm for a nourishing, joy-filled group singing session where families come together to connect, uplift, and share in the simple pleasure of song. Learn easy, feel-good melodies by ear in a welcoming space—no experience needed, just a willingness to join in. Open to All.
