Penrith City Council thanks the community for providing feedback on the use of Ron Mulock Oval in Thornton.
From April to May 2024, almost 300 residents completed the survey via the Your Say Penrith website and at the in-person community consultation pop-ups.
What we heard
We gained valuable insights on how the community uses the oval, what people value and the proposed future uses of the space. This feedback highlighted several key priorities for the community, including:
- Varied recreational uses and purposes
- Environment and cleanliness
- Safety
- Facility enhancement
Next steps
The oval will remain a shared space that provides maximum opportunity for recreation by everyone.
A new bin and additional dog tidy bag dispensers will be installed to help maintain the cleanliness of Ron Mulock Oval.
The status of the oval will remain an on-leash dog area. Penrith has 10 dedicated dog parks around the city. You can find the nearest off-leash area by visiting www.penrith.city/dogparks.
