Coburg North is a vibrant community full of parks, recreational spaces and local events that are perfect for families. If you're spending a sunny afternoon at the playground or heading to a weekend market, these outings are a chance to have fun and build healthy habits. These healthy habits can even support excellent oral health and give you more years of enjoying a healthy smile. 

Local Spots We Love

Start your adventure at Harmony Park, a local favourite with its wide open spaces, shaded playground and splash pad. The Merri Creek Trail offers a scenic path for active families to walk or cycle. Just down the road, the Coburg Leisure Centre is a hub of swimming, sports and school holiday programmes.

During weekends, don't miss the Coburg Farmers Market. It's an excellent spot for local produce, live music and community connection.

Smile-Friendly Tips for Family Fun

While you're out enjoying Coburg North, here are a few simple ways to protect your family's smiles:

  • Stay hydrated — Always bring water, not soft drinks or sports drinks. Water helps wash away food particles and keeps mouths fresh.
  • Pack tooth-friendly snacks – Cheese cubes, carrots and apples make great on-the-go snacks that don't cling to teeth.
  • Time treats wisely — If you indulge in sweets, enjoy them after meals when saliva production increases, as it helps neutralise acids.
  • Keep a travel toothbrush handy — It never hurts to brush on the go for long outings or overnight events.

Don't Forget to Book Regular Dental Visits!

Balancing a busy family life is no small feat, but regular dental check-ups are key to keeping those smiles strong and healthy. At Coburg Hill Oral Care, dental care is easy and enjoyable for the whole family. Our team offers gentle, preventive care and practical advice to maintain good habits between visits.

We invite you to book your family's next visit with Coburg Hill Oral Care!
