 Park & Play Shellharbour is an exciting new activity for young children and their carers in the Shellharbour area brought to you by Family Services Illawarra
FREE weekly play sessions are being held in parks and outdoor spaces in local neighbourhoods around Shellharbour City and all parents and carers of children aged 0-5 years are welcome to get involved.
Park & Play Shellharbour brings groups of young children and their carers together to enjoy simple, but fun play activities in great outdoor locations close to where they live.
The play sessions are safe and supported by friendly, trained staff. The sessions provide parents and carers with an opportunity to meet other adults caring for young children in the local area.
Play is fun, but most importantly, it helps children learn about the world and each other. The Park & Play sessions will also provide lots of ideas for fun play activities that parents and carers can recreate at home.
