Wollongong City Council is working towards its vision for Beaton Park to be one of the city’s key sporting hubs that meets our community needs now, and into the future.
Many hands make light work and we’re encouraging Lake Illawarra-lovers to get involved in a series of monthly clean-up events.
Stephanie Quirk and Dr Virginia Keft (Muruwari) have been announced as this year’s winners of the 2025 Sculpture in the Garden Wollongong Ephemeral Prize and People’s Choice prize, respectively.
There is nothing quite like a day by the lake to slow down and spend quality time together. Around Lake Illawarra, you will find plenty of fun things to do.

From the Lord Mayor's Office
It's fantastic to see more people participating in various sporting codes across our city,
My thoughts are with our local Indian community as they come together on Friday evening to honour the lives that were lost in the devastating massacre in Kashmir on 22 April.
As Lord Mayor it’s a great privilege to meet with local people from all walks of life and attend all sorts of community events.
