Kayakers at the new launch deck in Leonay

Get ready to paddle, explore and enjoy the Nepean River like never before with a new kayak launch deck now ready to use at River Road in Leonay, located between Buring Avenue and Urbane Street.

The new launch deck is the first to be built on the southern side of the M4 making it easier for people to access and explore the southern end of the Nepean River including the majestic Nepean Gorge.

With existing launch decks at Tench Reserve and Regatta Park, this new deck in Leonay creates another option for people to explore and enjoy all of the Nepean River.

This project was jointly funded by the NSW Government in association with Penrith City Council. Council secured a $250,000 grant under the NSW Government’s Boating Now Program and matched this funding.
