December 2019

Merry Christmas to one and all!

It's been a great year at Hardie Park, we've had some amazing support from our customers, community, local businesses and funders helping us deliver on a range of projects. We hope you've enjoyed 2019 with us.

All that we do could not happen without our dedicated group of volunteers who help keep the cafe open 7 days a week from 9am to 4pm. So here's a massive volunteer shout out! 

'THANK YOU for giving your time helping to make our park and cafe a great place to be!'

Our volunteers really are the heart of Hardie.

“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.”
~Oscar Wilde

We're a little excited!

Our Christmas community meal will be taking place on Christmas Day once again. Thank you to each and every one of you who has offered to help. We really appreciate your donations of food, drink, presents, time and money. Our community is awesome!

We can't wait to report back on the day!

Please think before you dump your rubbish in the bin

Don't forget to take a minute to think when throwing out your Christmas rubbish. We can now recycle lots of items that are not able to go in your blue bin.

Christmas unfortunately creates a huge amount of waste and that is not just wrapping paper and packaging. You may even receive presents that you don't like or don't want, if that's the case please think about re-gifting to avoid items reaching landfill.

We can collect the following items at Hardie Park: PET FOOD POUCHES / CHOCOLATE WRAPPERS / CRISP PACKETS / BREAD BAGS / PRINGLE TUBES / TOOTHPASTE TUBES / TOOTHBRUSHES.

Here's a more comprehensive guide to items we are able to collect >> CLICK HERE

Cafe re-opens on Friday 27th December 9am.
