Tench Reserve

The revitalisation of Tench Reserve at the Nepean River opened in 2023 with a new $13 million open space park developed and delivered by the NSW Government in partnership with Penrith City Council, key stakeholders and the local community. 

This project funded through the Department of Planning and Environment’s Parks for People Program  which aims to improve communities’ access to high quality open space areas and increase green cover.

This project complements Council’s ongoing program of work at the Nepean River and the completed works at Tench Reserve including new pathways, water’s edge decks, boat ramp and trailer parking.
