2.  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 the cycleway page at Wollogong.nsw.gov.au.

3.  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 at Wollongong.nsw.gov.au.

4.  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 that are open.

5.  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.
