Project update: Regatta Park

24/09/2024

A major milestone has been achieved at Regatta Park, bringing the project another step closer to completion.

A new shared path connecting Regatta Park to the Bridge-to-Bridge loop, enhancing accessibility and offering a safe and scenic route for pedestrians and cyclists along the Nepean River, is now opened, along with a 17-space overflow car park, more fencing around the play space and the central staircase leading to the river foreshore and landscaped open space on the eastern side of the batter.

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.

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 Glascott team is now focused on completing the pavilion, which includes the water play and sand pit area, new amenities and a kiosk.

We are proud to be bringing Regatta Park to life for Penrith City Council and the local community. We look forward to sharing more as we near the completion of the project.
