Enriching Communities Greenbank held its second annual Everleigh Games

Hosted by Enriching Communities Greenbank in partnership with Mirvac, budding athletes from Beenleigh through to Ipswich tested their skills on the running track, brushed up on badminton and played ping pong.

Enriching Communities founder Suzanne Guastini said one activity in particular proved to be the people's choice.

"We did a community volleyball game," she said.

"We had people from eight years old to fifty years old playing volleyball together. It was so successful, people came up beforehand to ask when the game was starting.

"It was a very popular sport, I didn't realise that until the day."

As the sport was so popular the organisation is now considering holding regular volleyball events in the park, and is also planning to donate the ping pong tables used at the event to Everleigh State School.

Mrs Guastini said another highlight of the day was a football match involving the Greenbank Over-50s Walking Football club and younger residents.

"We had inter-generational walking soccer," she said.

"It was great, the young and the old were sharing skills."

Others involved included Jimboomba Jets Little Athletics who organised the running track and high jump, AFL Queensland who held a throwing skills contest, Darren from Dazza Fitness and Deputy Mayor Natalie Willcocks who earned herself a silver medal in the sprint event.

The Enriching Communities founder said she was pleased to see adults getting involved with the activities as well as the children, including some familiar faces.

"It was very popular with the adults," Mrs Guastini said.

"We had some returning champions from last year take to the track. Our reigning female champion took gold again in the 50 metre sprint."

The next event held by Enriching Communities will be a nature walk on August 28, delivered in partnership with Logan City Council and Queensland Trust for Nature, with tickets available on Eventbrite.

Mrs Guastini said participants would receive a guided tour and learn about the environment around Wearing Park in Munruben.

"We want to get people seeing what's literally in their backyard, and how dense the green spaces are," she said.
