Here are the free things to do with kids in Abbotsford and the suburbs next to it that we have found so far. There are ten listings: one event, one class and eight clubs. They sit in Abbotsford, Chiswick, Wareemba, Henley and Cabarita, with a couple a short hop further away. Everything below is listed as free. The events and clubs below show the latest from each organiser.
Along the river
The water is the theme here. Abbotsford Rowing Club is in Abbotsford. Abbotsford 12ft Sailing Club and Parramatta River Sailing Club are both listed in Henley. Cabarita Swimming Centre is in Cabarita and Chiswick Baths is in Chiswick. We don't have opening times or what the free option covers, so check with each organiser exactly what is free and for whom. Please check the signs and the organiser's page before you go.
Dance, karate and skating
Pointe Petite Dance Academy is listed in Abbotsford. KKC Karate is in Wareemba. Gladesville Skatepark is at Huntleys Cove, and it is the one on this list where kids can simply turn up on a scooter or board, though you should still check the council's signs on the day. Little Fins is listed at Tennyson Point.
An event in Ashfield
The European Christmas Market in Ashfield is the one event listed. Markets can be busy, so go with a plan for little ones. The organisers publish the details, so use their page to check when it is on.
Ideas by interest
- Kids who like boats: the rowing club and the two sailing clubs.
- Kids who like to swim: Cabarita Swimming Centre, Chiswick Baths and Little Fins.
- Kids who like to move to music: Pointe Petite Dance Academy.
- Kids who like a challenge: KKC Karate and Gladesville Skatepark.
We don't have age ranges for most of these, so ask each organiser before you go.
Planning a free day
Pick two places close together and keep the day short. Abbotsford, Chiswick and Cabarita are near each other, so you could pair a river outing with a swim. Bring water and sun protection. If a place says a booking is needed, book with the organiser.
We're still adding free options around Abbotsford, so check back. For the latest details, use the organisers' own pages.
