Immersive painting and storytime

Free family art, craft and storytime day at Carlson Park! Contribute to our little library, enjoy a hot drink, and a picnic together outside

Immersive painting and storytime is a free, family-friendly community event that invites local children to help create and celebrate a new Little Community Library at Carlson Park.

Children will take part in a guided painting activity alongside an Indigenous artist, leaving their handprint and name on the library as a lasting contribution to the park. Following the creative session, families will enjoy a relaxed outdoor storytime and craft session led by Council librarians, with picnic mats and cushions provided.

This painting and storytime day is just one of a series of exciting community activations happening at Carlson Park this April. We invite you to explore the full program of creative, cultural and nature-based events on our website and join us for even more school holiday fun!

Complimentary hot drinks by Liquid Infusion will be available, creating a welcoming, social atmosphere for families to connect, create and enjoy their local park.

Please note:

Children under 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
