City of Parramatta Council has redeveloped the Boronia Grove Community Centre into a multi-purpose community space and to celebrate, we are hosting an exciting Family Fun Day event on Sunday 5 June.
This family friendly event will be jam-packed with lots of free activities. Local community members can enjoy a sausage sizzle, arts, crafts and dance workshops and live music organised by City of Parramatta. Get playful with Roll by Nadia Odlum, an interactive artwork commissioned by Parramatta Artists’ Studio in the open space on the grass in Boronia Park and let Chris Dolman’s Wandering Troubadours decal artwork guide you through Epping station.
City of Parramatta Council obtained upgrade grant funding through the NSW Government Stronger Communities Fund, securing the total upgrade investment of $1.95 million in the project. As a result, the community now has access to the following spaces for hire: five meeting rooms, two office spaces, a café space and an art space.
