Tench Reserve

The revitalisation of Tench Reserve at the Nepean River continues with a new $13 million open space park to be developed and delivered by the NSW Government in partnership with Penrith City Council, key stakeholders and the local community. 

This project is being funded through the Department of Planning and Environment’s Parks for People Program  which aims to improve communities’ access to high quality open space areas and increase green cover.

This project complements Council’s ongoing program of work at the Nepean River and the recently completed works at Tench Reserve including new pathways, water’s edge decks, boat ramp and trailer parking.

Final Design

The community's input has shaped the final design of the park. The final design for Tench Reserve is now complete and available to view at https://www.dpie.nsw.gov.au/premiers-priorities/great-public-spaces/open-space/parks-for-people/tench-reserve-design
