FSN’s annual Heritage Park Family Fun Morning kicked off the year in style on a glorious summer’s day in Lismore, 22nd January 2026.
Families enjoyed free train rides, clowned around with the hilarious Shorty Brown, and got creative with Polly Esta’s fabulous face painting. Children’s laughter filled the park as they chased gigantic bubbles, twisted balloons into animals, and shared big smiles cruising around the park on the miniature railway rides.
It was wonderful for the community to come together at the beginning of a new year, with families of all ages enjoying a morning of fun, magic and connection.
A heartfelt thank you to Brian, our friendly train driver, Polly Esta, Shorty Brown, and our generous funders at the Department of Communities and Justice—your support makes these vibrant community connection events possible.
