Sharing a run with Ben

Many people will need no introduction to our good friend Ben St Lawrence. Olympian, Australian record-holder, 2010 City2Surf winner and has spent almost 10 years training in Centennial Park.
“I’m here fairly regularly, sometimes up to 10 times a week. I’ve definitely spent a lot of time following the white fence around over the years,” Ben recently told us.
“I love the Parklands, but it’s one of the busiest and most diverse public parklands in the country, so we have to do what we can to share the space and respect those around us.”
“Most times when I see someone doing the wrong thing, it’s often because they’re unaware of the regulations of the Parklands. That’s where the Share the Park campaign comes in. To raise awareness and educate visitors about what our responsibilities are – to each other and to the Park.”
Thanks to Ben for generously giving his time to help promote Share the Park!
