Council-owned community facilities are venues and spaces owned and managed by City of Ryde Council that support social connection, learning, care, and cultural engagement, such as libraries, community halls and meeting rooms.

Council-owned sports and recreation facilities are places owned and managed by City of Ryde Council that are designed for sports, leisure, and wellbeing, such as buildings located in parks, and under agreement with sports and community groups.

The new Community Facilities Strategy considers how indoor sports and recreation facilities can be made available for broader community use, including social and cultural activities beyond scheduled sporting events.

Council-owned community buildings under agreement with organisations or community groups are properties owned by the City of Ryde Council that are leased or licensed to community groups, charities, non-profits, or social enterprises. These buildings are used to deliver services or activities that benefit the local community (e.g. childcare and early learning centres, child and family health services).
