Looking for more places to play? We have good news! Playgrounds, ovals, and sports courts at 5 Central Coast schools will be open for public use over the winter school holidays.
The schools are open as part of the NSW Department of Education’s “Share Our Space Program” – with school grounds open to the public from Saturday 5 July to Sunday 20 July 2025. Some schools will be open every day while others will only be available to the public on weekends.
When the program launched a few years ago Premier Gladys Berejiklian said, “Schools across our State offer such valuable open and green spaces and it is great that instead of being locked away from the community over the holiday period, they will open for the community to enjoy.”
Parents, tell your teachers and P&C about this great scheme, so your school, too, can get involved. Hopefully next holidays we can add even more locals schools to this list.
The following Central Coast schools are open 8am-5pm during the winter 2025 holidays:
- Kariong Public school – gate access on Langford Drive | open weekends.
- Brisbania Public – gate access on High St/backfields | open weekends.
- Copacabana Public – gate access on Pueblo Street | open weekends.
- Wyong Creek Public – gate access on Yarramalong Road | open daily.
- Lake Munmorah High – gate access on Pacific Highway, rear gate to sports field | Open daily.
*Please note that school toilets will not be open.
