There’s something undeniably enjoyable about taking a walk near the river. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with the refreshing breeze, makes it an inviting experience. Plus, there are plenty of coffee shops just across the road, perfect for grabbing a warm cup to sip while you stroll. I really appreciate the local council for their efforts in maintaining the area; it’s always kept in good condition, making our outings even more pleasant.

I wish they had a better water park and would love to see a large bmx/skating area.

Just completed the Penrith Bridge Loop which takes in both sides of the river. The reserve is great but could do with another bathroom facility on the Emu Plains side of the walk and a few of the picnic benches need a good mow. Cafes located at either end of the loop for coffee, drinks etc.
