Mildura, Buronga and Gol Gol
The ABS groups Mildura - Buronga into one urban area, with 53,620 residents at the 2021 Census and a median age of 40. We welcome enquiries from the Victorian side, around Mildura, Irymple, Red Cliffs and Merbein, and from Buronga and Gol Gol in New South Wales. Add your town and state to the form, and we will pass the request to one personal trainer who can reach you.
The council details on this page are Mildura Rural City Council's. Buronga is in Wentworth Shire, which sets its own rules for its parks, so a trainer who works on the New South Wales side will know what applies.
Paid activities on public land
Mildura Rural City Council has a permit for certain activities in public areas. It applies to local government reserves, parks, beaches, foreshores, golf courses, shopping precincts, pedestrian malls and other public land use areas, and offering recreational services for sale or hire is one of the activities it covers. If you want your sessions in a council park, ask the trainer how they handle council approval.
Outdoor gym gear at S.C Mills Reserve
On Walnut Avenue, S.C Mills Reserve is a large community park offering walking paths and outdoor gym equipment, according to the council. That combination suits a session that mixes brisk walking with strength work.
Plans for Mansell Reserve
Council endorsed the final Mansell Reserve masterplan at its meeting on 26 February 2026, and the plan includes provision for fitness loops and equipment for all abilities. It is a plan rather than a finished park, so check what has been built before you count on it.
Starting at any age
By our count of the age rows, about 19.7% of people in Mildura - Buronga were 65 or over at the 2021 Census. Plenty of people begin with a trainer at that stage of life. If you are new to exercise or coming back after a break, say so on the request form, and the trainer can plan the first sessions around it. Sessions at home are an option if getting to a park is a hassle.
