Tabula Rasa is an artwork made up of 64 small panels at the Broadmeadows Community Hub. The panels come from the now-demolished Campmeadows Primary School. Those interested in artworks with a traceable material history will find a clearly defined cultural point of reference here. The work thus connects its school origins with an artistic use of the panels.

Museum and history

The Broadmeadows Museum on Pearcedale Parade features permanent and temporary exhibitions; it also houses the Broadmeadows Historical Society’s collection. The collection and exhibitions provide different points of reference: one is the society’s holdings, while the others are the exhibitions presented by the museum. This distinguishes the museum from the individual artwork Tabula Rasa, whose material and origins are the focus. Permanent exhibitions are designed for longer-term display; temporary exhibitions have their own themes and complement the museum’s permanent offering.

According to the Broadmeadows Historical Society, the area of present-day Broadmeadows has been inhabited by the Woi-Wurrung for 40,000 years, particularly the Wurundjeri-Willam. This historical perspective gives the area a broad timeframe. It differs both from the collection and exhibitions at the museum and from the specific material history of an individual artwork.

Sport and leisure

The Broadmeadows Aquatic & Leisure Centre is a fitness and leisure facility in Broadmeadows. Its amenities include a fully equipped gym, basketball and netball courts, indoor swimming and group fitness programs. Several forms of physical activity are available: gym training, court sports, indoor swimming and group fitness. If you are looking for leisure activities, you can start by considering which of these types of activity interests you for your trip.

The activities differ not only by location but also by type: basketball and netball are court sports, swimming takes place indoors, and group fitness is another format. The current offering may change; check which activities are available before your visit.

Broadmeadows Town Park has a play area. This gives it a distinct focus alongside the fitness and sports facilities at the Aquatic & Leisure Centre. The two places cater to different leisure interests, and the play area should not be confused with the sports facilities.
