It's official - the first stage of Regatta Park is open! So, why grab your family or friends, and check it out this weekend?

Make the most of the new adventure playspace, multi-use lawn space, and shaded picnic and BBQ areas.

Or stroll down the pathways leading to the river foreshore, where you'll find over-water viewing platforms and kayak launch areas. The first section of the 90-space car park is also open.

And don't forget that the old River Road and Great Western Highway intersection has been closed and relocated 130 metres up the road to be opposite Lamrock Street. You can find out more about the changes to River Road here.
