Have you ever rediscovered a passion you thought was long forgotten? That's exactly what happened when I stepped into the Blackwood Community Centre for a cooking class—my first since school days. The simple joy of chopping vegetables for a Greek salad and learning to prepare chicken dishes rekindled something I'd been missing for years.

Community centres in Adelaide, supported by the wonderful Mitchell Council, are creating spaces where people connect in meaningful ways. These aren't just buildings—they're vibrant hubs where lives intersect and new skills blossom. The recently opened Pasadena Community Centre exemplifies this spirit with its incredible range of activities for all ages and abilities. From the exhilarating Tuesday evening Zumba "Fun Mix" classes to the Monday "Fun and Fitness" sessions combining drum balls, dancing, and yoga meditation, there's something for everyone. The best part? These activities are completely free, making community engagement accessible to all.

What makes these community spaces truly special is their inclusivity. Whether you're a primary school student or enjoying retirement, whether you're a fitness enthusiast or just starting your wellness journey, you're welcomed with open arms. As someone who volunteers as a basketball coach, I've witnessed firsthand how community involvement enriches lives on both sides of the equation. When we put our time and heart into what we do, something magical happens—we build connections that sustain us.

The Community Show will continue bringing you weekly updates about local activities worth trying. Meanwhile, stay tuned for exciting upcoming episodes including the BJ Show 2025 award show, bowling updates, AFLW coverage, NBA opening, and our milestone 250th episode celebration. With listeners in 44 cities across 13 countries, we're building a global community one episode at a time. Which community activity will you try next? Download our episodes and join the conversation!
