Weekends around Lane Cove can go by quickly.
Maybe you’re catching up on errands, meeting friends, or just looking for something active to do nearby.
The good news is that Lane Cove has become a great place for casual sport and active recreation, whether you want to play with friends or try something new.
Here are a few simple ways locals are staying active this weekend.
1. Organise a Casual Game with Friends
Sometimes the best activity is simply getting a group together and playing sports.
Instead of travelling across Sydney or waiting for a league game, many locals now book courts for casual play at Galuwa Recreation Centre
The centre offers indoor and outdoor courts available 7 days a week, making it easy to organise a quick game whenever it suits your group.
You can play a range of sports, including:
🎾 Tennis
🏓 Pickleball
🏀 Basketball
🏐 Volleyball
🏐 Netball
⛳ Golf
Whether it’s a relaxed hit or a friendly competition, casual court hire is one of the easiest ways to spend an active hour with friends.
2. Try Pickleball — The Fastest Growing Social Sport
If you haven’t tried pickleball yet, you’re not alone.
The sport has been growing quickly across Australia because it’s easy to learn, social, and fun for all ages.
Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, making it a great option for beginners and experienced players alike.
Many people first try it during a casual booking or social session at Galuwa Recreation Centre, where dedicated courts are available.
It’s a great activity for:
• couples
• families
• social groups
• anyone wanting a fun workout
3. Shoot Some Hoops Before the Day Starts
Basketball players in the area have also discovered a simple way to get extra practice.
At Galuwa Recreation Centre, Early Bird Casual Shooting sessions run every morning:
🏀 7 days a week
⏰ 6:00AM – 7:00AM
💲 $8 per person
It’s a great option if you want to get a quick session before work or start the day with some exercise.
To make things easier, the centre now posts daily basketball shooting availability on social media, so you can quickly see open slots without calling us.
4. Stay Active Close to Home
One of the best things about living around Lane Cove is how many nearby suburbs are within a short drive.
Many visitors to Galuwa Recreation Centre come from surrounding areas such as:
- Lane Cove North

- Longueville
- Riverview
