Park and Street Orienteering
More Fun Than the Same Old Run
Bored with running the same old block? Tired of trudging on the treadmill? Looking for a new way to give your brain and body a boost? Want to see new places and meet new faces?
Park and Street Orienteering provides the perfect combination of mental and physical exercise. You do not need a compass or any special map reading ability. However, it will test your thinking while giving you a great workout in a friendly, safe, outdoor environment. Events are held all over Melbourne, all year round.
Our events welcome people of all ages and abilities, and accommodate everyone from the elite sports person to those looking for a good walk to help stay in shape.
Families and friends can participate in groups or individually. Groups such as schools, scouts, sports or social clubs are very welcome - but please contact us at least a week prior to the event, so we can make sure enough maps are printed.
Printed programs covering all of Melbourne are available at most events. Further information is also available on this website: Want to learn more? Click here

Park and Street - Latest News
CHANGED START LOCATION - Heidelberg Central, Thursday November 9
Friday, 3 November 2017
Important Notice: on Thursday November 9, the start
for the Park Street event at Heidelberg Central will be at De Winton Park,
Strasbourg Road, Rosanna. This is just a short distance south of
the published start at Rosanna Railway Station, which is currently closed for
construction works. PARK ORCHARDS - This map is one of our best kept secrets, a hidden gem tucked away in the leafy outer east just waiting to be discovered. We picked a new start location in the south part of the map, further away from the Hundred Acres, but right next to the infamous Hill. Course setter Mark gave us the option of circling the hill, or going up and over. Everyone had plenty of options, with even some D course competitors choosing to "go bush" while others stuck to the streets.
A course was won by Steven, Russell and Tim. Damian claimed B course from Stuart and Geoff. Phil, Dennis and Katherine were first back on C, while Ewen, me and David were quickest on D. Len scored 52 points on PW, ahead of Ian on 48, and Barry and Ros both on 46.
Overall, Steven has three from three on A course, Russell is second and Stephen third. Stuart leads B from Daiman and Geoff, and Dennis is ahead of Philippa and Peter L on C course. Ewen is in front of me and Pete on D course. Len is another triple winner on PW, with Barry and Ian in second and third.
See you next Thursday at Heidelberg Central - please note the change to the start location.
