Penrith Council to mark completion of Regatta Park with family event

Penrith Council to mark completion of Regatta Park with family event
February 19, 2025

To celebrate the completion of Regatta Park, Penrith City Council is hosting a special event on Saturday 8th March 2025. 

Regatta Park has been transformed into a leisure and recreation hub on the Nepean River via a multi-million-dollar upgrade jointly delivered by Council and the Australian and New South Wales Governments, with both contributing $7.5 million each to Council’s project as part of the Western Parkland City Liveability Program.

The park features a pavilion with water play equipment and sandpit, fenced adventure playspace, cricket oval, shaded picnic and BBQ areas, outdoor fitness equipment, pathways and a central staircase leading to the river foreshore, kayak launch areas, and plenty more to enjoy. 

The final stage of the park opened at the end of 2024, including the pavilion and water play equipment, with the park having become an increasingly popular spot for locals and visitors over the recent holiday period.

The family event will run from 10am until 3pm, with activities including kite-making and art workshops, face painting, garden games, bike repair workshops, live entertainment, roving performers, prize giveaways and more. Food and beverages will also be available at the event.

Penrith Mayor Todd Carney shared “Council has delivered on our commitment to enhance and improve access to the Nepean River and its surrounding green spaces with the completion of Regatta Park.

“It’s become a new focal point for leisure and recreation and will further strengthen Penrith’s position as Western Sydney’s most liveable city.”

Regatta Park is located on the corner of the Great Western Highway and River Road, Emu Plains.
