Sutherland Leisure Centre

Sutherland Leisure Centre is Council’s aquatic centre at 1 Rawson Avenue, Sutherland. Birthday groups here are self-managed. The dedicated party page states that staff do not host or run parties: families hire a space, pay entry for every guest, and run the day themselves. The listed private option is the Pool Room — an air-conditioned room next to the water park, with tables, chairs, ceiling fans and a fridge-freezer. Organisers may access the room 30 minutes before the booking to decorate. Food and decorations can be brought in (alcohol and glass are not allowed); an on-site café is also available. Families can skip the room and buy general entry instead, but shared seating is not guaranteed.

The heated indoor splash-and-play pool (about 30°C, with water features) is open year-round. The outdoor water park, with slides and a mega soaker tip bucket, is seasonal. Council’s water-park page still publishes the last dated season as Saturday 27 September 2025 to Sunday 19 April 2026. As of 31 August 2026 those dates have ended and a 2026–27 season has not been listed. The party FAQ describes the outdoor toddler pools and water park as typically open October to April. Call (02) 8536 9777 to confirm room times and whether the outdoor park will be open on the chosen date.
