Playtime for

THE BIGGEST indoor playcentre in the country is now at Bald Hill Road.
According to the owner, Lawrence Cusdin, Pakenham is not only home to the largest playcentre but also the largest indoor slide in Australia – and just in time for the school holidays.
Since opening on 19 June, the indoor arena for 0-14 year olds has been very busy, with families retreating from the wintry outdoor weather.
“It is certainly better than sitting inside and watching TV these holidays,” Mr Cusdin said.
“It is a good way to keep kids active and exercising.”
The business is expecting a “crazy” school holiday period, with plenty of youngsters keen to try out the two-lane bike track, jumping castles and giant slide.
