Our events

The Hurst Park Residents Association (HPRA) organizes and supports a variety of events throughout the year to bring neighbors together, strengthen community bonds, and create opportunities for fun and social connection. From the lively Music at the Marker to the charming Fun Dog Show, the engaging Annual Quiz Night, and the rewarding monthly clean-ups, each event is designed to foster a sense of belonging and pride in our neighborhood. Whether you’re meeting new friends, sharing laughter, or making a difference, HPRA events are at the heart of a thriving Hurst Park community.

A date to put in your diary! This will be great fun; you might even allow the adults to help you if they behave themselves. Our younger Easter egg hunters have to find six different coloured golf tees to claim their eggs.

Join us anytime for a relaxing game and the chance to meet new friends! The Club meets Saturdays at 10:30 AM and Sundays at 2 PM (if there’s enough interest). While you’ll eventually need your own Boules, we can loan some for beginners. The terrain is also open for practice or casual games outside club hours.
