Event Details

The Friends of Eastwoodhill will be firing up the BBQ with gourmet burgers, so every bite helps support the Arboretum. Tickets are limited, so gather your crew and book early for a day worth celebrating.

Your ticket includes everything you need to settle in and enjoy the day.

  • a burger or vege patty
  • tea or coffee
  • a sweet treat
  • park admission for non-members

Pick up your free Nature Bingo card and let it lead you on a playful wander through the park; complete the challenge and children can return for a well-earned chocolate treat.

Father’s Day at Eastwoodhill

On the day, start your visit with a warm welcome at the Visitor Centre. The Park opens at 9am so feel free to arrive with plenty of time to soak up the beauty of the Arboretum. Wander along our 25 km of trails, let the children enjoy the playground, and make the most of a relaxed Father’s Day surrounded by fresh air, towering trees, and the people you love.

When it’s time to eat, head back to the courtyard between 11:30am and 2pm, where the Friends will be grilling up burgers for a special Blokes lunch. Arrive anytime during that window and we’ll take care of the rest, so you can simply settle in, enjoy the moment, and celebrate Dad in true Eastwoodhill style. The park closes at 4pm so now that you’re re-fueled, feel free to wander more of the park, burn off some energy at the playground… whatever Dad desires. It’s his day, after all!
