Four Central Coast town centres will come alive this April and May with Social Spaces – a series of pop-up activations aimed at bringing the community together and attracting visitors to Gosford, Wyong, The Entrance and Toukley to create vibrant and engaging spaces.
Central Coast Council Unit Manager Community and Culture, Glenn Cannard, said the initiative will help boost local businesses and create vibrant spaces in important town centres this autumn.
“Social Spaces is all about revealing the hidden treasures and spaces of Gosford, Wyong, Toukley and The Entrance and filling them with community events, pop-up dining experiences, school holiday activities and seasonal entertainment,” Cannard said.
“There will be two months of exploring amazing local food, kids’ activities, roving entertainment and more fun activities from Sunday, April 10 until Sunday, May 29.”
Highlights of the program will include heritage walks, school holiday activities (petting zoo, laser skirmish, mobile games truck, roving Easter bunny), pop-up dining experiences with live entertainment, and an array of delicious dinner options offered from local restaurants and businesses.
There will be self-guided Wyong heritage walks in May, with signposted stops to help you step back into the shoes of locals in the 19th century.
There is a downloadable tour guide flyer featuring information on each point of interest and a handy map and option to listen to the audio tour.
“As we move out of the busy summer period, this initiative will provide continued support to local businesses that are still recovering from the financial impacts of COVID,” Council Administrator, Rik Hart, said.
“Creating social hubs that are alive and buzzing also creates memorable and enjoyable experiences for all and enhances the liveability of the Central Coast.”
