Ready to fill the holidays around Wolli Creek? The listings we have lean towards learning something new: skateboarding, balance bikes, kickers, dance and martial arts, with canoe and golf clubs on the water side. None are marked as holiday-only programs yet, so ask each organiser what runs once school is out.
The Summer school holidays run from 18 Dec 2026 to 27 Jan 2027 (starting in 6 weeks). These are NSW public-school dates. Catholic and independent schools can differ.
Learn something new
- Sunday skateboarding lessons and Balance bike clinics, both in Alexandria.
- Decathlon Tempe Kids Sports Party in Tempe.
- Little Kickers Ages 5 to 8 in Sydenham.
- Aiki Kids Club in Undercliffe.
- Erko Berzerko in Erskineville. Check the organiser for what it involves and whether it suits kids.
Dance and play in Marrickville
Marrickville has most of the classes we list:
- READY SET DANCE and READY SET DANCE Level 1.
- JAM BUDDIES.
- Junior Group Classes for ages 4 to 7.
The junior group classes are the ones with a stated age range, so they are a good starting point for younger kids.
Water, green space and local history
- River Canoe Club of NSW in Wolli Creek and River Canoe Club in Tempe. Ask about junior sessions and any age or swimming requirements.
- Jack Newton Junior Golf in Wolli Creek and Kogarah Golf Club, listed in Tempe.
- Robyn Webster Sports Centre in Tempe.
- Tempe Historic House, listed in Wolli Creek, and Arncliffe Library, listed in Arncliffe and Undercliffe, for a quieter day. Check opening hours first.
Plan the week
- Alexandria, Tempe, Marrickville, Sydenham and Undercliffe are different spots, so check travel times on your map and group outings by area.
- Book early where you can. Skate lessons, clinics and kids' sports events can fill.
- Ask each organiser about ages and what to bring, like helmets or a change of clothes.
- Keep one slow day in the week.
