Tucked away in Randwick, the Randwick Sustainability Hub is an award-winning community space where families can connect with nature, learn about the environment, and enjoy fun, hands-on activities. Whether you’re looking for a weekend adventure with the kids, a school holiday outing, or a place to explore on your own, the Hub is full of surprises.
A Living Classroom in the Eastern Suburbs
One of the Hub’s treasures is its Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub – a rare and critically endangered ecosystem. Families can discover its importance on the Go Slo for a Mo’ Nature Wellness Trail, where kids can try fun sensory activities and even learn a few words in the local Dharawal language. The Discovery @ REP Trail also offers an engaging way for children to explore and learn about native plants and wildlife.
