The amazing ‘Drum Beats’ percussion artists will be joining ACON's Women and Families Project for a fun packed interactive drum & dance session and BBQ at the Yarrabee Covered Picnic Area in Merrylands West.

Facilities at the park include an updated covered play ground with soft-fall for the kids, sparkling cascades and lakes with native wildlife. Plus there’s plenty of parking, and a free BBQ lunch will be provided.

How to get there

The entrance to the car park is on the right side of the road, opposite Jersey Road. Yarrabee Covered Picnic Area is just west of the car park entrance.
