Long Park is officially open — and to mark this exciting milestone, the community is invited to take part in Illuminate the Journey, a free, 10-day celebration filled with light, movement, creativity and connection.
Hosted by the Public Transport Authority and METRONET, and running from Friday 30 January to Sunday 8 February, this vibrant event transforms Long Park and the Oats Street Station precinct into a welcoming space for people of all ages to come together, explore and celebrate our shared community.
Across both weekends, visitors can enjoy:
- Live music and local performances
- Food trucks and refreshments
- Kids’ activities and family-friendly fun
- BMX demonstrations
- Basketball workshops and clinics
- Group fitness and outdoor movement sessions
As the sun sets, the precinct will come alive with immersive evening light installations, including interactive LED displays, shadow play and colourful illuminated pathways — creating a magical experience after dark.
Illuminate the Journey is more than an event, it’s a celebration of place, connection and the opening of a new community space designed to bring people together.
