Lifestart is celebrating International Day of People with Disability with a fantastic community event.

There will be a jumping castle, face painting, helium balloons, sausage sizzle, a quiet sensory space and a performance from some talented Lifestart kids. We will be collecting donations to support our programs from children and young people with disability.

Getting there

The event is at Ashfield Park. This park has a children’s playground, plenty of shade, accessible toilets, a picnic area and barbecues.

By car – There is plenty of parking in the streets surrounding the park.

By public transport – there are bus stops along Parramatta rd and on Orpington and Ormond Streets around the park. Summer Hill train station is a 10 minute walk from the park.
