Activate Your Space is a project that strives to improve opportunities for people living in suburbs of greatest need to be physically active, eat healthy and connect with others.
The emphasis is on creating community-led activities that are sustainable with community, government and non-government agencies working together.
We are currently working with the suburbs of San Remo and Blue Haven on the following initiatives:
John Pete Howard Reserve
Park and Pathway survey – after Central Coast Council’s 2021 upgrade to the playspace at John Pete Howard Reserve, San Remo, we asked the local community what they liked about it, how often they use the park and lakeside pathway, and what could be improved to encourage more people to use the park and pathway.
Click on below options for the survey results.
Look out for
- Aboriginal artwork from the local schools to be installed at John Pete Howard Reserve
- Recreational activities/events to be offered by the Office of Sport
More to come
Lunchbox Connection
Lunchbox Connection is a pilot project partnering with San Remo Neighbourhood Centre, Northlakes and Blue Haven Primary Schools and Schools as Community Centres to support students to access healthy food and drink for school and families to build relationships with community services.
Watch video below to learn more about the 2021 Aboriginal Lunchbox Connection pilot program.

San Remo parkrun
San Remo parkrun is a flat, picturesque and FREE event every Saturday.
Everyone is welcome at parkrun. You can walk, run, push a pram, or even take your dog! You can take as long as you need to finish the 5km, and volunteer ‘tail walkers’ ensure no one is left behind.
For any enquiries about the park and pathway survey report or the Activate Your Space projects, please contact the Health Promotion Service, Central Coast Local Health District on 4320 9700 or email at [email protected].
