Cycleways

Whether you cycle for exercise or simply for the scenery, there are plenty of opportunities to cycle safely in Wollongong. If you're interested, there's the Cycle Wollongong brochure which has a rundown of routes in Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama. To see it, try out cycleway page.

Skateparks

Council has four skateparks and we're always on the lookout for locations for new ones. To see the details of the existing parks in Helensburgh, Fairy Meadow, Unanderra and West Dapto, try our skateparks page.

Sports Grounds

We manage more than 40 sports grounds across Wollongong. View the sportsground status of each of ground to be kept up to date on which grounds are open or closed for training and competition purposes. You can now check if any of these Council owned/managed sports grounds are open and closed by texting the specific sportsground SMS code outlined on this page.

Don't Waste Our Sports Grounds

Thomas Dalton Park at Fairy Meadow is our most popular sports ground and each year, more than 36,000 people visit the park.

Council has installed recycling facilities at this ground to help reduce the amount of recyclables which end up in the general waste bin. So, if you're at Thomas Dalton Park, please do the right thing with your drink cans and plastic bottles.

Assistance for Sports Clubs and Associations

Wollongong City Council runs a Sports and Facilities Reference Group. One of this group's objectives is to help sporting clubs and associations in maintain and improve their sports facilities through the provision of design assistance and partial capital funding.

Applications for assistance are invited from sports clubs and associations in the Wollongong Local Government Area. For more details, visit our Grants & Sponsorships page.
