Perched on the corner of Nicholson and Dowling streets in Woolloomoolo, the Juanita Nielsen Community Centre boasts plenty of excitement within its walls. One big attraction: its affordable gym and fitness classes, where you can lift free weights, take a yoga or boxing session, or hit the rowers and climbers.

The centre also hosts an array creative workshops (so if you're eager to pick up a few new skills, take note), and its spaces are available for hire. It also has co-working facilities, should you need somewhere to get things done away from the office or your home.
