School Holiday Programs

The City of Ryde is the second largest provider of free school holiday programs in NSW with capacity for over 2000+ children per year to be taking part in a range of physical activities across the city’s many parks, open spaces and recreational facilities.

Where possible, we aim to make our school holiday programs accessible and inclusive of children of all abilities, If you have any questions about physical access or inclusion in any of our school holiday activities, please email activerecreation@ryde.nsw.gov.au or call 9952 8222.

All children attending the program must have closed toe shoes and a water bottle, for outdoor programs we also suggest sunscreen and a hat. A responsible adult must attend with all participants under the age of 13 and remain throughout the session.

Winter School Holidays

Active In Ryde’s free youth program is back this July with a range of exciting free activities happening across the City of Ryde.

The Active Youth holiday program features a range of outdoor activities as part of Council’s Active Youth Initiative.

Each activity has listed age groups of suitability, with sessions tailored to different skills and abilities. Most often, activities are designed for participants aged 12 to 18 years, however this can vary.

Please make sure you read each registration page carefully and understand the minimum skills required to participate in each activity.

Outdoor activities generally do not run in wet weather. Where possible, an alternate indoor venue may be arranged. If the event is cancelled, you will be notified by either email or text.
