Active & Healthy program
Active people live longer and live better, which is why we encourage our community to connect and move. Across the Gold Coast, government agencies, not-for-profits and local businesses are working together to boost participation in physical activity and sport – not just for health, but to strengthen social bonds and build a more connected community.
Our Active & Healthy Program aims to create a city where an active lifestyle is the norm; where all residents and visitors can easily take part in regular physical activity. With over 350 free and low-cost weekly activities in parks and community facilities across the city, the program makes it easy to stay active, reduce stress and enjoy the social benefits of sport and movement.
To keep our young ones and families active, engaged and entertained during school breaks, we offer a jam-packed holiday program that runs for 10 weeks each year.
