Regatta Park Community Event

On Saturday 8 March 2025, join us for a special event to celebrate to completion of Regatta Park!

Regatta Park has been transformed into an iconic recreational destination on the banks of the Nepean River.

The park features a pavilion with water play equipment and sandpit, an adventure playspace, multi-use lawn space, cricket oval, shaded picnic and BBQ areas, pathways and central staircase leading to the river foreshore, over-water viewing platforms, kayak launch areas, car parking, toilets and lots more.

From 10am until 3pm, Regatta Park will be buzzing with plenty of fun activities, live entertainment, food and more to enjoy! We’ll have more exciting details soon.

The Regatta Park project was jointly funded by Council and the Australian and New South Wales governments as part of the Western Parkland City Liveability Program.
