Take Dad For A Paddle

August 22, 2019 By editor

Father’s Day is fast approaching and making it a special day for dad can sometimes be difficult. There are a lot of options to consider from what to buy, where to eat or which activity to do.

As new research has shown the significant and wide-ranging health benefits of spending time outside, why not give Dad a nature fix this year?

The Parkes Dragon Boat Club is putting on a special Father’s Day paddle and barbeque on Sunday, 1st September at Lake Endeavour from 9:30am to 2:30pm.

Everyone over 12 years is welcome to try out a paddle. Otherwise it is a wonderful outing to the lake to enjoy the peaceful environment with bird life and lots of options for some hiking. There will also be a kids’ fishing competition with a prize for a fish caught. Tackle will be provided.

Pack a picnic, chairs and utensils and spend Father’s Day at Lake Endeavour, and give the whole family a precious gift of time in nature.
