The Broadmeadows Museum offers led Historical Cemetery Tours of Hume visiting five pioneer cemeteries including Will Will Rook, Scot’s Church, Mickleham, Donnybrook and Bulla with enquiries directed to the Broadmeadows Historical Society.

History Through Guided Walks

These tours focus on the settlement story of the region and connect participants with specific pioneer sites across the City of Hume. The Broadmeadows Historical Museum also supports research into the area's settlement along with its historical airport at Glenroy and the military base at Broadmeadows. Visitors can access the museum's resources on Monday mornings between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM to explore these topics further before or after a tour.

Parks and Community Activities

Broadmeadows Valley Park remains open daily from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM for leisure and recreation with trails and open spaces available for walks and picnics. Broadmeadows Park adds options such as access to the Broadmeadows Shopping Centre for shopping alongside skate park use and nearby nature exploration. Community events add variety with the Edible Weeds Walk held at Mulberry Community Garden and the Walking Westmeadows tour offered during the Seniors Festival 2025.

The combination of structured historical tours and everyday park access creates consistent local experiences that residents can arrange through direct enquiries to the Broadmeadows Historical Society or by checking park hours. Those interested in the cemetery tours can contact the society for current scheduling details while park visitors simply arrive during the listed operating hours for Broadmeadows Valley Park.
