The Willarong Is Coming — Caringbah’s New Family-Friendly Bowling Club!

If you’ve got little ones, you’ll know how tricky it can be to find a spot where everyone — big and small — can actually enjoy a meal out.

With a few local venues recently removing their play areas, I think every parent in the Shire has been quietly wondering the same thing… Where can we go now that still caters to families with young children?

Well, our prayers have been answered 🙌

The Willarong, the brand-new Caringbah Bowling Club, has just announced it’s officially opening on October 27th — and yes, it’s complete with a kids’ play area!

As a mum and local, this is the kind of news that makes me genuinely excited. A space where the adults can relax over dinner or drinks while the kids are happily entertained? Absolute bliss. I’ll be there with bells on to check it out!

Here’s what we know so far 👇

About The Willarong

Located right in the heart of Caringbah, The Willarong has been completely reimagined. Expect modern dining, fresh interiors, and that relaxed Shire vibe we all love.

The highlight for families? The dedicated kids’ play area — a welcome addition for parents who want to enjoy a night out without the stress. Whether it’s a casual lunch, a midweek dinner, or a weekend hangout with friends, The Willarong looks set to become a new favourite for locals with little ones.

Why It’s a Big Deal for Families

Over the past few months, several venues around the Shire have quietly removed their kids’ zones, leaving parents scrambling for family-friendly options.

Perfectly timed, The Willarong’s opening brings back something local families have been craving — a space where kids can play and parents can truly relax

This new addition feels like a small but mighty win for local families who’ve been missing that balance of good food, community, and playtime.
