Skateboard Park, Ulladulla
West Ulladulla Sporting Complex, located on Camden Street is the site of the Shoalhaven's first regional skate facility. Constructed in 1997, the facility has already become a part of the national skateboarding circuit and is used regularly by the youth of the area. The park offers opportunities for skaters of all levels and incorporates a range of state of the art challenges.

Users of this facility should be suitably experienced and are advised to wear protective equipment, particularly helmets, knee and elbow pads.

Car parking and basic amenities are available on site.

Marriott Park, Nowra
Marriott Park is one of Nowra's showpieces. Strategically located adjacent to the Nowra CBD and on the Princes Highway, this park is used by locals and tourists and provides opportunities for many forms of play. Plenty of seating and shade is provided to make the supervision of children as comfortable as possible.

Getting playful in Marriott Park is easy. The most obvious opportunity is the high quality playground, which offers children aged between 2 and 14 the chance to have fun and challenge their skills on equipment ranging from spring animals to a complex senior play unit. However, there are also plenty of large grassy areas for other activities such as ball games and free play. There is also a stylish old gazebo from which visitors can look over the central waterway. Feeding the parks' many ducks and geese is also a popular pastime.

Harry Sawkins Park, Nowra
Adjacent to the Nowra Civic Centre, Harry Sawkins Park was named after a former Shoalhaven Mayor. Known for its abundance of ducks and geese which live on the central island in the lake (and are always waiting to be fed!), the park is popular with young and old for its many recreational opportunities.

A large playground network is centrally located within the park providing structured play opportunities for children in the 4 to 14 age group. Some equipment is also provided for younger children with parental supervision. The play equipment is complemented by grassy open spaces which can be used for unstructured play.

Greenwell Point
At the waters edge at Greenwell Point is a colourful new playground designed around a marine theme. The playground was installed in 1998 and is popular with residents and tourists.

The playground here is just one aspect of a centralised community recreation area. Right next to the playground you will find the Greenwell Point pool, boat ramp and fishing wharf. The parkland is a popular spot for picnickers enjoying the beautiful views, the company of the local pelicans and the famous Greenwell Point fish and chips.

White Sands Park, Huskisson
Stage One of the redevelopment of White Sands Park, Huskisson has only recently been completed. This park is now one of the foremost recreation venues in the Shoalhaven, and one of the most popular reserves in the Bay and Basin area. Modern play equipment for 2 to 14 year olds has been provided on the reserve at Hawke Street near to the toilets and car parking facilities.

Wander down the hill into Voyager Park for a swim in one of the most idyllically located public pools you will ever see, or take a stroll around the public wharf to enjoy the sites of Jervis Bay. On any day of the week you are likely to catch sight of dolphins at play, but for a closer look, investigate one of the many tours which depart from the wharf.

Modern play equipment has been installed, which incorporates a variety of structures suitable for children in the 4 to 14 age group. Younger children will require direct supervision when using the playground. Open areas are also provided for free play.

For the comfort of visitors, the reserve incorporates a car park, BBQ's, picnic tables, and toilets. Council also maintains a boat ramp, from which access to the harbour can be gained.
