Penrith continues to have its playspaces transformed

Penrith continues to have its playspaces transformed
May 7, 2022

Penrith City Council will begin upgrading seven of its playspaces this month with new play equipment, surface upgrades, additional seating, shade sails, tree planting and landscaping.

Playspaces to receive upgrades include those located at Armstein Crescent in Werrington; Brooker and Day Reserve in Colyton; Iron Bark Way in Colyton; Pauline Fields in Penrith; Penrose Crescent in South Penrith; and Stapley Street in Kingswood. The playspace at Nindi Crescent in Glenmore Park will be upgraded in July.

Penrith Mayor Tricia Hitchen said high quality public spaces are vital in bringing the community together and noted “Playspaces are great for our mental health and provide the community with the ability to come together to be active and socialise. That’s why we’ve been working hard to upgrade playspaces across Penrith to make sure they are modern and inclusive for everyone

“We’ve worked closely with the local community to develop the final designs for each playspace. This included seeking input on a range of themes to understand what style of playspace and types of equipment residents wanted to see in their local playspace.”

Council is upgrading 40 playspaces over a five-year period between 2019-2024. Upgrades to 16 playspaces have already been delivered.

These playspaces were identified through Council’s Sport and Recreation Strategy which is a 15-year road map for the future provision of sport, play, recreation and open space facilities across the City.
