Walking Football in Bendigo is benefitting with an improved space to play thanks to the opening of a $4.97 million Ewing Park redevelopment.
The project, jointly-funded by the Victorian Government and the City of Greater Bendigo, provides a range of sport and recreation facilities that aim to increase participation in physical activity and provide a social hub for the surrounding community.
Since its introduction to Australia in 2017, walking football has grown exponentially due to its inclusive nature. The sport enables people of all ages and abilities to be involved in the world game and promotes an environment built on fun and making friends.
Presently, Football Victoria offers 19 walking football programs, however, just five programs exist in regional Victoria, which includes Bendigo. As such, continued infrastructure projects like the Ewing Park redevelopment are crucial to regional communities who want to start valuable, inclusive programs like walking football.
