"We are wanting families to think about how to lessen their waste by enjoying a picnic that produces no waste, so this means no throw away plastics, no cling wrap and no wrapped snacks.

"This is a great opportunity to pack up the family, bring along a waste free picnic and enjoy a free movie and a great night of family fun."

The movie nights will take place at 6pm Friday March, 18 at Crook Street Park, Corner McIvor Road and Crook Street Strathdale and 6pm Friday, March 25 at Cooinda Park, Mackenzie Street West Golden Square.
