Penrith City Council is upgrading the sport and recreation infrastructure at Parker Street Reserve, which is located on the corner of Parker Street and Coreen Avenue, Penrith.

Precinct improvements will include:

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

These works will be staged to minimise disruption to sports groups and the community.

This project is funded through the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program in partnership with Council.

What could be included in this upgrade?

After conducting a site assessment and getting feedback from local residents about what they'd like to see in their new playspace, Council will develop the design in line with state government guidelines and our Playspace Design Guidelines. You can find these in the Sport and Recreation Strategy under the 'Related Documents' section of this page.

Our guidelines outline the types of infrastructure which need to be included in an upgrade depending on whether the playspace is a local, district, or Citywide facility.

Parker Street Reserve is a local playspace and will include:

• new play equipment
• seating
• pathways
• surface upgrades
• natural and/or artificial shade
• landscaping
• possible relocation within the reserve

While Council does its best to create playspaces that are modern, inclusive, and will be enjoyed for years to come, some types of infrastructure such as toilets, fencing and water play are not possible in all of our local playspace upgrades.
