Pedal go-karts a hit with children in Mooroopna

Human-powered go-karts were in full swing in Mooroopna on Sunday, with children of all ages taking on an inflatable race track set up in the town as part of Greater Shepparton City Council's Activities in the Park program.

It's Party Time Jumping Castles owner Rowan Simpson said the pedal go-karts were always a hit with kids.

“The pedal karts are human powered — the kids love it, they go around the inflatable race track and they think they're racing each other,” he said.

Mr Simpson said the free activity was one of many run through Activities in the Park, with the aim being to encourage children to get outside, be active and try an activity they might not normally get a chance to do.

“The aim is to get families moving and having a bit of fun,” he said.

It's Party Time Jumping Castles will be running the pedal go-karts again on February 2 from 10am to 11.30am at KidsTown, 7287 Midland Hwy, Mooroopna. It will also host a pedal go-kart cycling tour around Shepparton's Victoria Park Lake on January 12 from 3pm to 6pm.
