The NSW Government has today confirmed Penrith Beach will be reopen for summer this Saturday December 7th, providing access to a swimming spot for locals and visitors to cool down, relax and swim.
More than 215,000 people visited Penrith Beach from 19 December 2023 to Anzac Day 2024, and this summer’s swim season promises to be bigger and better with upgraded accessible facilities for beachgoers.
The State Government invested $2.5 million to fund amenities and staffing for the beach’s second season.
“It is fantastic to see Penrith Beach will open its gates again in one week’s time, so our community has somewhere to relax and cool off in our local area,” said NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Western Sydney, Prue Car.
“A place like Penrith Beach is critical for the people of Western Sydney. Hundreds of thousands of Western Sydney locals showed up and enjoyed Penrith Beach last year, and I cannot wait to join them for another summer season.”
Beachgoers travelling to Penrith Beach will not need to book parking with more than 300 parking spaces available this year.
The beach operating hours will be from 10am to 7pm, commencing Saturday and will be open every day including Christmas through to Sunday, 27th April 2025.
Water safety remains the top priority this summer with trained lifeguards from Surf Life Saving NSW on duty to patrol the beach and offer first aid services to visitors. The Royal Life Saving Society will also lead community education and learn-to-swim opportunities.
