Playgrounds across the region have been grouped by local government area (Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and Shoalhaven), then by suburb.

As well as a photo of each playground, the facilities available in each playground have been listed. Where certain facilities are not available (eg. toilets) this is indicated by the word “NO”. There is a map to help you find each playground, and if you require information about public transport, look for the links to local bus companies and the “Transport Infoline."

You can also let other Play Illawarra website users know what you think of a playground by posting a comment.

Please Note: The information in this directory has been provided by local councils and community volunteers and was accurate at the time of collection. We aim to keep the information as current as possible however Councils continually modify and upgrade playground facilities.  If you have information about a playground which is not up to date on the website please email us at play@healthyillawarra.org.au
