Project:  Playles Hill Labyrinth & Garden – Corryong Victoria
Awarded Amount: $26,000.00
Impact Areas: Climate Resilience & Connection & Wellbeing

It’s widely believed that walking a labyrinth can help increase relaxation and reduce stress.

After the Black Summer fires, the Playles Hill Project Group came together with the goal of revitalising the neglected space in Corryong, transforming it into a park for the entire community.

Their latest project is the creation of a labyrinth, designed as a tool for health and well-being. With a single, winding path leading to the centre, the labyrinth invites visitors to walk slowly and mindfully, offering a space for contemplation, walking meditation and stress relief.

The views from the labyrinth are stunning, creating a serene place for healing and reflection. Though its primary purpose is to promote mental wellness, it also serves as a flexible space for community events.
