From creative-minds to footy fans, Kids in the Park will also debut a NEW Rugby League Clinic this summer that is

Tomorrow’s tennis stars will have fun of Grand Slam
proportions at the Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre from 19-22 December or 23-27 January, when Tennis workshops will swing into action from 9am-12.30pm. The four-day workshop costs $130 and will help kids aged 6-16 improve their game as Sydney heats-up for another exciting summer of tennis. For a super-fun alternative
