Council is proud to support Good Sports: Leisure and Recreation - a new exhibition that explores the powerful role of sport, leisure and recreation in shaping local identity and community.
Launched with strong community involvement, the exhibition at Kyneton Museum features contributions from local sporting groups and highlights themes of inclusion, the evolution of recreational spaces, and the social impact of sport across generations and cultures.
The exhibition was officially launched last month, with Mayor Dom Bonanno and Commonwealth Games athlete/Kyneton Small Bore Rifle Club member James Daly among those in attendance.
Mayor Bonanno said: "This is more than a nostalgic look at our sporting past. It's a reflection on how we move, connect, and build identity, from grassroots clubs to national icons.
"Events like this show the strength of our community. I hope visitors leave feeling inspired and maybe even ready to dust off their running shoes," he said.
The exhibition invites visitors to consider how sport has contributed and shaped our culture. It celebrates participation, community and the values of fairness, respect and belonging.
Council thanks the Kyneton Museum team, sponsors, volunteers and contributors for bringing this project to life. Initiatives like Good Sports help strengthen partnerships, celebrate shared stories and build a more connected Macedon Ranges.
The exhibition is open Fridays to Sundays, 11am to 4pm, at Kyneton Museum (67 Piper Street). Visit mrsc.vic.gov.au/Kyneton-Museum for more information.
