Welcome to Kids at Play

Kids at Play is a program of Sport & Recreation Services and is supported by the Heart Foundation (ACT Branch), University of Canberra and ACT Health.

The Kids at Play program includes vans equipped with play equipment and staffed by qualified play coordinators. The vans provide regular play opportunities in the early childhood setting, (specifically catering for children 2 - 5 years) to encourage children and their parents to be involved in active play. The vans are also available to schools for community events and organised family play activities.
