Spring is in the air, and Penrith City Council is getting ready to open the first stage of Regatta Park in the coming weeks!

So, what will be opening in stage one for residents and visitors to enjoy?

An adventure playspace with activity tower, slide, swings, a carousel and disc, which is sure to be a favourite among children of all ages.

Shaded picnic areas with BBQs and a large multi-use lawn space will be perfect for celebrations and getting together with family and friends. These facilities are located near an amenities building and car park. A section of the car park with 22 spaces will open with many more spaces to come in stage two.

Heading closer to the Nepean River side of Regatta Park, you will be able to stroll along the pathways leading to the river foreshore. Don’t forget to stop and enjoy the river views at one of the over-water viewing platforms.

Want to enjoy some on-water action? Kayak launch areas have been installed to allow easier access to the river.

The realignment of River Road with Lamrock Street, including the relocation of the intersection from the corner of the Great Western Highway and River Road to be opposite Lamrock Street, will also be complete.

The $34.2 million Regatta Park project is co-funded by Penrith City Council under the Western Parkland City Liveability Program which is part of the Western Sydney City Deal (WSCD).

The Western Sydney City Deal is a partnership between the Australian and NSW Governments and the eight Councils of the Western Parkland City.
