Creswick Neighbourhood Centre has a wide variety of courses during school term times. Whether you are looking to get fitter, learn to cook or to learn a bit more about computers, this is a great place to be and to meet new people.

I did a meditation course at the centre a while back and enjoyed the experience a lot. At $5 a week it was very affordable and beneficial for me. It is disappointing that this course no longer appears in their brochure. However, I have a long list of things I would like to do at the centre: art classes, creative writing, coffee making and so on. There is also a drop-in social group for people who just want to get to know some new people over a cuppa.

The staff and volunteers are very helpful and friendly. If that isn't enough, there is also a community garden and some lovely shady spots. The outside pizza oven is pretty cool too.

The prices of courses varies, but it is generally affordable.
