It's an average open space, with good tree umbrellas. Access to the weir is blocked.

If you’re looking for a perfect picnic spot, this park by the Nepean River is a hidden gem. With beautiful river views, plenty of open space, and a relaxing atmosphere, it’s an ideal place to unwind. The lush greenery and shady trees provide a great setting for a lazy afternoon, whether you’re enjoying a packed lunch or just soaking in the scenery. The park is well-maintained, making it a pleasant place to visit with family or friends. You can sit back and watch the river, take a leisurely stroll, or simply enjoy the fresh air. If you’re after a peaceful escape from the busy city, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

Part of the great river walk Workin’ down in Jamisontown, Penrith, I find myself headin’ to the Weir Reserve along the Great River Walk a couple of times a week—fair dinkum, it’s my go-to spot to clear the head. There’s just somethin’ magic about strollin’ by the river, takin’ in those ripper views. Before I kick off my walk, I usually grab a few snacks and an energy drink from a local servo. Then it’s all about hittin’ the path, takin’ it easy, and enjoyin’ the vibes. The locals are tops—friendly as anything! You’ll get a few nods, smiles, and the odd “G’day” as you go. Makes you feel right at home. There are heaps of benches to park yourself on, perfect for soakin’ up the scenery or catchin’ up with family. And the paths? Smooth as, and well-looked after. Whether you’re out for a bit of a sweat, a snap of the river, or just a cruisy arvo, this place ticks all the boxes. If you’re swingin’ by Penrith—or even if you’re a local who hasn’t had a crack yet—get down here. The Great River Walk, especially Weir Reserve, is bloody unreal!
