Decided to come because I haven’t watched my stars play in 7 years, wish I stayed home. Watching them getting smacked and getting a deadly sunburn from sitting in the sun. Not fun.

Doesn't help when the square boundaries are so short that even half-arsed shots are clearing the fence for six.

K park pool used to be shit

They should have more than one channel for the tennis this week. They are televising the most boring matches! Yawwwwn!

 

[Phipppppa]

I’ve played on grounds with bigger boundaries then k park.

Leave k park strictly to footy.

 

[Shell]

What happened to the park with the big slides on the main road?

 

[Shell]

I always wanted to go. Mum and dad never let us.

 

[Phipppppa]

[Shell]

The footy club had a family day there one time, thats when we went

Was closed down due to too many people getting injured I think.

 

[Phipppppa]

Knocked down to create a fire station.

Had some good times there myself

 

[Phipppppa]

Surprised they haven’t knocked down the slide at k park pool.

But It’s a geelong icon, can’t knock it down.

Hey I had a scary moment at the Adventure park. Was coming down one of the tube slides on a floatation thingy- all of a sudden the waterslide just slowed right down and without any warning the tube flipped on its side + my head smashed onto the slide.

Was lucky I didnt get concussion.

The footy club had a family day there too one time.
Of course it was ****ing freezing + drizzly even tho it must have been in March.

 

[Shell]

Best family days would have been Luna Park circa.. 96? And Melbourne Zoo circa 2001.

 

[Phipppppa]

One of my fav memories was the 150 years function and dinner, but the family days have always been fun. Can’t remember Luna park.
