Delivering a Landmark Public Space

Glascott Landscape & Civil worked closely with Penrith City Council to bring the vision for Regatta Park to life, undertaking:

  • Extensive site preparation, earthworks, and landscaping.
  • Construction of hardscape and softscape elements, integrating high-quality finishes.
  • Installation of structures and recreational equipment, making the space both functional and beautiful.

The completion of Regatta Park reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional public spaces that support active, connected, and thriving communities. We are proud to have played a role in shaping this significant riverside precinct and look forward to seeing it enjoyed for generations to come.
