School holiday activities in Rooty Hill are mostly places you book or turn up at, rather than one-off events. We have a good set of sport, swimming and indoor options in and around Rooty Hill, and only one listed event so far. The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 7 weeks). These are NSW public-school dates, and Catholic and independent schools can differ, so check your own school's calendar.

Sport, gym and play in Rooty Hill

Rooty Hill has several places that suit active kids. Sydney Gymnastic and Aquatic Centre and Rooty Hill Tennis & Squash Centre are both listed, along with Martial Arts Spirit and Zone Bowling. Gymnastics NSW High Performance Centre is also listed in Rooty Hill. From its name it may focus on elite athletes, so ask whether it runs anything open to families before you plan around it.

Blacktown City Council's events and activities page is listed for Rooty Hill too, and it includes the libraries. Councils often publish holiday programs there, so it is worth a look closer to the break.

Nearby in Mount Druitt and Doonside

Mount Druitt Swimming Centre and Mount Druitt Library are both listed in Mount Druitt. Our one event is a Bushcare meet up at Nurragingy Reserve in Doonside. We don't have an age range or times for it, so check with the organiser first.

Ideas for the days

  • A hot day: the swimming centre in Mount Druitt. Check opening times and entry details with them.
  • A day to try something new: a martial arts class or a tennis session.
  • A day with friends: bowling at Zone Bowling.
  • A gymnastics fan: ask Sydney Gymnastic and Aquatic Centre whether they have holiday sessions.
  • A quiet day: the library, either in Mount Druitt or through the council's page.
  • A day outdoors with a purpose: the Bushcare meet up at Nurragingy Reserve.

Planning the days

We don't have confirmed holiday programs for most of these places, so please don't assume they run them. Message or call the organiser and ask three things: what ages it is for, whether you need to book, and what it costs.

Mix a booked day with a free day. Mount Druitt and Doonside are a short trip from Rooty Hill, but think about travel and meal times before you head out, especially with younger kids.

We're still adding holiday programs near Rooty Hill. For the latest details, use the events and clubs below and head to the organisers' own pages.
