Project Play

With more than 150 playspaces across the Local Government Area, Penrith City Council has an ongoing program to upgrade these spaces to ensure they are modern and inclusive for current and future residents.

A network of 21 playspaces across the City will be transformed with new equipment, surface upgrades, seating, tree planting, shade, landscaping and pathways.

These playspaces form part of Council’s commitment to upgrade 40 playspaces between 2019-2024, and include:

Bel-Air Road Reserve, Penrith
Jim Anderson Park (stage one), Werrington Downs
Robin Wiles Park, North St Marys
Goldmark Crescent Reserve, Cranebrook
Ridgeview Crescent Reserve, Erskine Park
Glengarry Drive Reserve, Glenmore Park
Explorers Way and Henley Grove Reserve, St Clair
Gilmour Street Reserve, Colyton
Henry Brigden Park, Penrith
Eileen Cammack Reserve, South Penrith
Max Baker Reserve, Jamisontown
Edward (Ted) Little Park, Colyton
Adelaide Street Reserve, St Marys
Ridge Park Reserve, Colyton
Amaroo Street Reserve, Kingswood
Poplar Park, North St Marys
Edna Dunn Reserve, South Penrith
Ladbury Avenue Reserve, Penrith
Dorothy Radford Reserve, St Clair
Greenway Drive Reserve, South Penrith
Wattle Avenue Reserve, North St Marys

These projects are being funded by the NSW Government through the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program ($7.56 million) in partnership with Council.

Construction is being staged from 2023 through 2026.

With more than 150 playspaces across the LGA, we have an ongoing program to upgrade these facilities to ensure they are modern and inclusive for generations to come.

After conducting a site assessment and community consultation, Council develops the design for a playspace upgrade in line with the NSW Government’s ‘Everyone Can Play’ guidelines and Council’s ‘Playspace Design Guidelines’.

Our ‘Playspace Design 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.

You can find these guidelines in the Sport and Recreation Strategy.

Projects have been identified through Council's Sport and Recreation Strategy is a 15-year road map for the future provision of sport, play, recreation and open space across the City.

You can view the Sport and Recreation Strategy on this page.

Council has an ongoing program to upgrade playspaces across the City each year, so there's a good chance that your playspace could be in line for Parks Asset Renewal funding in the coming years.
