Regatta Park Emu Plains captures the community’s vision for better access to the beautiful Nepean River and improved amenities. The final designs for Regatta Park have been delivered and they are amazing!

The final design captures the ideas of the community and brings to life a shared vision for Regatta Park Emu Plains as a vibrant space that celebrates, activates, and enhances the Nepean River.

Key Features of the Regatta Park Emu Plains upgrade Final Design Include:

Stage one will focus on the riverbank, from River Road to the river foreshore, and deliver:

  • a 112-metre pavilion
  • undercover play space with water activities
  • a new amenities building
  • an accessible pathway to the river foreshore, and
  • several over-water viewing platforms.

Stage two, on the western side of River Road, will deliver:

  • an adventure playspace – with a fully fenced, inclusive play space with waterplay activities
  • outdoor exercise stations with gym equipment
  • a cricket oval
  • landscaping, and
  • a centralised car park.With bench seats and over-water viewing platforms on the river foreshore, more natural shade (with 400 trees to be planted!), large open areas for events, and other activities, kiosk with outdoor dining space, junior cricket oval and BBQ and picnic areas throughout, we are certainly looking forward to this significant community space being completed – predicted to be complete by mid-2023.

How Will The Regatta Park Emu Plains Upgrade Be Funded?

The Regatta Park Emu Plains transformation is being jointly funded with $9 million contributed by Penrith City Council and $15 million from the Australian and NSW governments through the Western Sydney City Deal’s Western Parkland City Liveability Program.

The delivery of Regatta Park and Council’s ongoing program of work to revitalise the Nepean River is set to strengthen Penrith’s position as Western Sydney’s most liveable city.

New Cafe and Restaurant – The Police Cottage

An exciting element of the Regatta Park Emu Plains upgrade is the design reuse of the Old Police Cottage. Penrith City Council is working to restore this heritage building and bring it to life with a NEW café and restaurant that offers magnificent views of the Nepean River. 

Construction started in June 2021, with the full project set to be complete by mid-2024.
