Community playgroup at John Knight Park
Join our free weekly community playgroup at John Knight Park for children up to five years old.
Join us and our community at our Outdoor Playgroup!
From 6 February 2026, our weekly playgroup during school terms is moving from Latham Preschool to John Knight Park, where nature play is at the heart of the fun!
Facilitated by our friendly and experienced CRCS Family Education team, these sessions provide age-appropriate and interactive activities, with a focus on building connections within the community and families.
These playgroups are excellent early learning and play opportunities for Canberra kids. Throughout the term, children engage in nature-based and unstructured play, while parents have opportunities to connect with each other and a range of services, including health and early learning professionals.
What’s included:
-
Nature-based play

Short walking adventures around the lake

Sensory exploration

Social connection for kids and parents
