Playgroups in The Park is the only free family fun day available for children under school age (0-5years old) in City of Sydney LGA particularly in Redfern, Waterloo, Darlington, Eveleigh and Alexandria area.
It runs from 10:00AM to 1:30PM three times a year.
It has been running for 17 years with various support from local services to fund it as we never secure a continuous support from any government or non-government funders.
The purpose of this event is to provide a safe, community focus event for parents with young children for free on regular basis.
The aim is to facilitate a space for local service providers (child care centres, early childhood health services, women and children services, local schools and community/neighbourhood centres) to meet with the local community members, particularly the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities who reside in this area.
We provide wide range of entertainments for children such as jumping castle, animal farm, puppet show, pony rides, music and movement activity, face painting and many others.
The parents/carers will have the opportunity to enquire to the information stalls regarding their children or their needs.
We provide light morning tea which includes fresh fruits, cheese buns, water and juices.
