With parents reporting 'the kids loved it!' and many participants announcing “Yay! Streetgames!” upon arrival.
GippSport Streetgames, in partnership with Latrobe Youth Space, delivered a five-day Skatepark hang-out series. The first two days the weather was dismal, leaving no other choice but to redirect participants to the Youth Space Building for shelter. But no matter the weather, The Streetgames crew make the best of the situation, playing ping pong, Finska, croquet, and attempting TikTok dances.
“Finska is actually really fun,” exclaimed one participant after participating for the first time. On Thursday 23rd, Streetgames were lucky to enjoy the sun playing Finska, nibbling on snacks, and reaching out to young people at Morwell Skatepark.
“Yay! Streetgames!”
