Shining a light on St Marys’ past

Penrith City Council proudly introduces the St Marys Heritage Walk, a free mobile-friendly online interactive map celebrating St Marys rich historic past, while paving the way for an exciting future.

Following the launch of the Penrith Heritage Walk in 2022, the new St Marys Heritage Walk encourages residents and visitors to discover the fascinating history that shaped the emerging town of St Marys. The map is available on the Visit Penrith website, allowing participants to follow the story-telling journey on their mobile.

Starting at St Marys Station, the 4km circular trail leads to 11 points of interest, passing the South Creek Park, through Victoria Park and ending in the middle of St Marys CBD, Coachmans Park. At each stop, participants can read the storytelling introductions to the places and people who helped shape and grow St Marys.

St Marys, with its deep-rooted history, is set to become a thriving hub, blending tradition with modernity. The Heritage Walk serves as a tribute to the town's historical significance, with landmark buildings to iconic sites offering locals and tourists an immersive experience into St Marys' past.

St Marys is poised for unprecedented growth with the upcoming Sydney Metro station. This vital connection to the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport positions St Marys as a central player in the region's development. The Heritage Walk complements this progress by adding cultural and historical significance to St Marys, making it an attractive destination for residents, investors, and tourists alike. This initiative goes beyond preserving history; it contributes significantly to the community's economic prosperity. As the Heritage Walk attracts visitors, local businesses will experience increased foot traffic, fostering growth and sustainability.

Penrith City Council's investment in this innovative technology not only pays tribute to the rich history of St Marys, but also highlights a promising future for this growing centre. As we take steps towards progress, the Heritage Walk stands as a testament to St Marys' resilience and evolution, inviting everyone to be a part of its exciting journey. Explore the Heritage Walk and witness St Marys embrace its history while stepping confidently into a bright and prosperous future.
