3. Spacious indoor and outdoor facilities
The indoor area of Sherbrooke Hall boasts a very spacious, multi-use zone.

Sherbooke Hall offers a large multi-use space
Sherbrooke Hall is next door to Foster Park Playground. This is a fully-gated, wonderful, compact playground, packed with interactive equipment and water play. The kids love the monkey bars, the wooden slide structure, large sand pit and boardwalk paths. There is also seating and shade for sunny days.
Easy access to the playground makes Sherbrooke Hall a perfect all-weather kids’ party venue as you can make use of both the indoor and outdoor facilities. Please note that Foster Park is a public area, and hiring of the hall does not permit exclusive use of the playground. In addition the playground is available for general public use after 3:45pm in the summer months and on weekends throughout the year.
