Seasonal Allocation
Each season, local sporting groups are allocated sports fields for their sporting competitions and training activities. Council reviews applications each season to ensure our sports grounds are shared fairly. Allocations will be determined by Council, considering factors such as community benefit, prior use and the scheduling requirements for maintenance, ground regeneration and capital works.
The dates of each season are based on the following:
- Summer: 3rd Saturday in September to 1st Sunday in March
- Winter: 3rd Saturday in March to 1st Sunday in September
Applications are now closed for the use of Penrith City Council’s Sports Grounds for the 2026 Winter Season, running from 21 March 2026 to 6 September 2026.
For new seasonal allocation inquiries, please contact our Community Facilities and Recreation team on 4732 7930 or email
