There is even more to enjoy along the Nepean River with the latest stage of Regatta Park now open.

A new shared path connecting Regatta Park to the Bridge-to-Bridge loop, 17-space overflow car park, and more fencing around the playspace is complete.

The central staircase leading to the river foreshore and landscaped open space on the eastern side of the park will be ready to enjoy early next week.

Hundreds of new trees have been planted across the precinct to provide natural shade and boost the green canopy in the Penrith Local Government Area as they mature.

The junior cricket oval is also complete and will be ready for the summer season.

Regatta Park is jointly funded with $21.69 million from Council, $7.5 million from the Australian Government and $7.5 million from the New South Wales Government as part of the Western Parkland City Liveability Program.

The park also features an adventure playspace, multi-use lawn space, picnic and BBQ areas, outdoor fitness equipment, over-water viewing platforms, kayak launch areas, amenities building, 90-space car park, and 'The Penroglyph', a public artwork designed in conjunction with Dharug custodians by Archibald Prize-winning artist, Blak Douglas.

The undercover pavilion with water play, amenities and kiosk is expected to open in late 2024, weather permitting.
