Held my daughter’s 6th birthday party here. Was a fantastic space to host 20+ kids for an easy party - the wattle room was perfect for our group, and we had good weather so could use the connected playground which was a HUGE asset. Rain was forecast but I wasn't worried as there was plenty of space for us inside. Marianne was so lovely to work with, patient with my questions and great with advice. Want a great venue for a kid’s party then I highly recommend the centre.

We hired the Jacaranda room for my daughter's 5th birthday and had a fabulous time. We were really lucky with the weather, so the children stayed outdoors in the playground area most of the time, but it was reassuring to know we had the room in case it rained. Everything was clean and tidy, and it's a great space overall. The convenient parking, clear instructions from the venue administrator, and good value for money made the experience even better.

A fantastic venue very well suited for a recent toddler's birthday party! The room was clean, spacious, and had access to a big playground for all the kids. The booking process was easy and straightforward, and the staff were friendly and very accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. Thanks for all your help, Marianne and the NSCC team!

Brilliant venue for children's birthday party. Easy access to the Centre and ample of parking. We had the Moreton & Bay Room which was spacious clean and also we could have a bouncy castle, it was just perfect. My party wouldn’t have been such a success if it hadn’t been for Marianne. Highly recommended!!!

Working with Marianne and the team was a blast - they're friendly and so helpful when it comes to planning an event. We had an amazing party and celebration. The venue is great for families, and you can do so much within the rooms to decorate and make it yours. Thanks for everything and we can't wait to have another event soon!

We really love throwing parties at the North Sydney Community Centre. It’s a great venue with beautiful light and airy rooms, a well-kept fully fenced playground area and lovely clean amenities. Marianne is great at organising the events for us and very kind and considerate which feels very different to hiring other venues where you don’t get the personal and kind touch. Highly recommend!

Just writing to let you know how amazing the day went for our National Breast Cancer Foundation fundraising event yesterday at the North Sydney Community centre.
The venue was absolutely stunning! We set up outside to make full use of the stage, the sunshine, and the playground. The venue had something for everyone, little kids, big kids and the young at heart.
The ease of use of the kitchen made everything seem seamless. The use of the Morton room and Bay rooms meant we had ample space to run our cake stall.
The venue was beautiful and definitely contributed to the positive vibe of the day.
A special thank you to Marianne who brought such thought and care and positivity to the whole experience.
We are so lucky to have access to such a beautiful venue.
Thank you.

I recently hired the Wattle Room within the North Sydney Community Centre for my daughter's six birthday. The facility is fantastic for holding a kids' birthday as the room is huge, bright and airy, and located adjacent the centre's playground equipment. This is actually the second time I have used this room for my daughter's birthday, and I would very likely use it again. There are a lot of convenient parking options around the centre for loading/unloading party stuff and the room itself is big enough that rainy day party game options would not be a huge problem if the weather precludes the kids using the play equipment outside. I dealt with Marianne in the administration team and in all communications, she was helpful, professional, prompt and very friendly. Five stars! :)
Cheers,
Chris
