Sunday afternoon saw Vibert Reserve, Shepparton become a race track for pedal go-karts as part of Greater Shepparton City Council's Activities in the Park program.

Kicking off at 4 pm at the park, the free event saw kids aged five to 12 pedalling around on the inflatable track, provided by It's Party Time Jumping Castle.

The karts were also supplied by the Mooroopna hire company.

Company owner Leonie Simpson said she was grateful for the program supporting local businesses after a tough 2020.

“It's great to get the kids outside,” she said.

“And the carts are really easy to keep clean, wiping them down between uses.

“It's the third year we've been involved in the program and we're just grateful Council is still running these after last year. We lost a lot of work.”
