Globber Competition Winners

The City of Burnside ran a recent campaign giving away Globber scooters to local children who were asked to write in and tell Council why they love the pump track.

Alicia, 3, was one of the lucky winners. Her mum thanked Council for "providing this brilliant competition to encourage everyone to enjoy their outdoor activities and using the pump track."

"The different heights bring a great sensory experience and she can train on her balancing. Alicia will definitely visit the track and enjoy her go bike very soon," she said.

Two other winners were Jacob, 5 and Danniella, 6. Jacob said he learnt not to be scared of taking risks and loved spending more time outside being active. Danniella said the pump track boosts her confidence, improves her balance and is "fun! fun! fun!"

The pump track is currently at Langman Recreation Reserve, Burnside until Tuesday 1 November. It then relocates to Bell Yett Reserve, Wattle Park until the end of January 2023. The pump track has been a hit with local kids across Burnside, with over 100,000 laps recorded in 2022.
