Four crews, including a specialist medical team, were sent to the scene.
They treated the boy for a suspected head injury before he was taken to Sydney Children's Hospital in a stable condition.
Inspector Garren Constable from NSW Ambulance said bystanders and police did a "great job" to look after the boy until paramedics arrived.
"Injuries from falls like this have the potential to cause external injuries, but it’s the potential serious internal injuries that cause us the most concern," Inspector Constable said.
"These kind of accidents can happen in seconds, so it’s important to take extra care at home especially during the school holidays."
