The Ryde council have a sportsgrounds/ weather notice page which they update regularly. All non-essential soccer games in the Ryde/Hornsby are are off this weekend too.

Wet Weather Line - 9294 8586
During periods of wet weather, please phone Council’s wet weather information line on 9294 8586 to confirm if fields have been closed.
The use of Council's sporting fields following significant rainfall can damage the playing surface. To ensure that sporting fields are maintained in good condition it is necessary for Council to temporarily close sporting fields until they are again suitable for use. To check if sportsfields in Parramatta are closed following periods of rain, Council has a special wet weather number that is frequently updated with closure information. The line is updated at 3pm weekdays and before 7am on Saturdays . During periods of wet weather, please phone Council’s wet weather information line on 9294 8586 to confirm if fields have been closed.
Sporting users and hirers must observe the closing of the sporting fields, as they are liable for the cost of rectifying any damage as a result of use during periods of wet weather.
I rang the line and all sporting grounds are closed as of 1:15pm. There's going to be an update at 7:00am but with more rain, even if open it might barely be good enough for our hovercraft (yeah, just for fun, we built a dodgy hovercraft out of a lump of styrofoam - not much good on grass but probably ok on our lake
).
