Parker Street Reserve is a popular sport and recreation precinct which attracts an estimated 200,000 visitors each year.

Parker Street Reserve was identified for upgrades through Council’s Sport and Recreation Strategy, which is a 15-year road map for the future provision of sport, play, recreation and open space across the City.

In 2023, Council built a new amenities building on the upper fields, installed LED floodlighting, improved the rugby league sports fields and installed irrigation and fencing.

This next stage of works to will ensure sports groups have the high-quality infrastructure they need to accommodate increased participation and the ability to utilise facilities to their maximum capacity. It will also provide current and future residents with more opportunities to enjoy casual recreation.

Precinct improvements will include:

• replacing the existing playspace with a new and modern playspace.
• refurbishment of the amenities building at the athletics field.
• resurfacing and line marking the car park, adding accessible parking spaces and a pedestrian crossing.
• sports field surface improvements.
• landscaping and new pathways.

Parker Street Reserve is located on the corner of Parker Street and Coreen Avenue, Penrith.

The precinct includes four full-sized floodlit rugby league fields, floodlit cricket oval, floodlit athletics track and field facilities, two amenities buildings, a playspace, and an informal car park.

The Parker Street Reserve project is funded through the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program, in partnership with Council.
