Parks, sportsgrounds & sport courts

COVID-19 Updates

UPDATE: From 5pm Friday 9 July no more than 2 people can be together exercising at any one time (excluding people who live in the same household, so you can still exercise with the people you live with). In addition, people must stay in their Local Government Area or within 10kms of home for exercise and outdoor recreation, with no carpooling between non-household members.

UPDATE:  Playgrounds are open.

Council Staff will be cleaning playground equipment twice a day at its district parks – at Glenbrook Park, Buttenshaw Park, Wentworth Falls Lake and Soldiers Memorial Park at Blackheath, however as its not possible for Council officers to clean equipment multiple times daily at all of its playgrounds in 56 different locations, residents are urged to wipe down equipment before use by their children.

Council also urges residents to be aware of the current public health order to ensure they do not contravene it while visiting these places. Go to: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/public-health-orders.aspx. 

Sports grounds and ovals remain open for passive, casual recreation to enable children and families to take a ball and use the open fields for exercise. Please ensure you adhere to the new 2 people maximum for exercise (excluding members of the same household), that applies from 5pm Friday 9 July.

Council has turned on the lights at 12 sportsgrounds across the City giving the community the chance to get outside and be active during current COVID-19 restrictions. The lights will be on between 5pm and 9pm Monday to Friday, during the lockdown period, at the following locations:
