The City of Sydney invites local schools to enjoy Sydney’s biggest pop-up adventure playground at Sydney Park on Saturday 9 November. The Big Adventure is an enormous screen-free family fun day with activities from bike adventures, mountain boarding and rock climbing to parkour, dancing and hilltop craft flying.

New activities this year include a NSW Police balance bike challenge for kids, and bike helmet painting. The breathtaking BMX stunt riders will return with four shows, along with the popular unicycle ballet, breakdancers and a silent disco.

Other attractions include the Taronga Zoomobile, eco walking tours, face painting, the City Farm, and kite and paper plane making.

Bring a picnic, feast on gourmet treats from some of Sydney’s top food trucks and enjoy a free bike powered smoothie.

The best way to get to The Big Adventure is to ride a bike or use public transport. St Peters train station is across the road and bikes can be taken on trains for free.

Bike hire and bike parking will be available. There will also be a range of cargo and electric bikes on display and available for test rides.
