Have you had a chance to visit Regatta Park yet? The first stage is open and ready for the community to enjoy!

Regatta Park is easily accessible from the corner of the Great Western Highway and River Road, which now sits a little over 100 metres up the highway opposite Lamrock Street.

The first section of the park’s 90-space car park is also open, making it easier to make the most of Regatta Park and surrounds.

Once you’ve arrived, there are plenty of ways to make the most of Penrith’s new recreational space:

1. Kids will love the adventure playspace

The fully-fenced adventure playspace features an activity tower with a slide nestled among the trees for shade, multiple swings, in-ground trampolines, disc spinners, wheelchair accessible carousel, and more for kids of all ages to enjoy.

There’s also seating, drinking fountains, and toilets available. And don't miss 'The Penroglyph', a public artwork created by artist Blak Douglas.

2. Make your next celebration a picnic or BBQ

3. Coffee and a stroll along the river

From the Regatta Park car park, it’s a short walk to Laughin’ Boy Café. Why not grab a coffee and take a stroll along the new pathways leading to the Nepean River foreshore?

The pathways also connect to the Great River Walk for those who want to enjoy a longer walk over the Yandhai Nepean Crossing, or the opposite direction towards the Penrith Regional Gallery and Leonay.

Make sure you stop at one of the viewing decks along the way to enjoy the views.

4. Get onto the water!

There are several decks and areas for water babies to launch their kayaks or SUPs into the water.

There’s still plenty more to come at Regatta Park, with the second and third stages of the project due to open in 2024, including a junior cricket oval, outdoor gym equipment, central staircase leading to the river foreshore, shared path, more car parking spaces, a 112-metre pavilion with undercover water play and kiosk.

The 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.
