Tuesday, 14 January 2025

Ripples Leisure Centres at Penrith and St Marys are inviting the whole community to a free pool party this Australia Day, on Sunday 26 January from 8am to 6pm!

Beat the heat at Ripples poolside paradise with free entry, roving performers, music, tasty treats and waves of entertainment for all ages.

Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said everyone’s welcome to bring their friends and family to join us for a day of fun, swimming and celebration at Ripples.

“This free inclusive event is a great way for our community to come together, cool off, and celebrate Australia Day with fun activities for the whole family,” Cr Carney said.

“Council is again hosting this popular pool party, which has been a much-loved community favourite over the past few years.”

Attendees can fuel up for a day of fun at our pools with a range of delicious food options that will satisfy every taste bud. Enjoy a variety of sweet treats, icy cool drinks and a classic summer sausage sizzle on the barbeque.

Kids can make a splash at the popular splash parks with thrilling slides and water play. Then keep the good times flowing by taking a lap of our exciting garden games, or making waves with not-to-be missed giveaways.

To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all guests, Ripples will implement capacity restrictions as numbers increase at the venue. As numbers are limited, we encourage visitors to arrive early to secure their spot and make the most of the day's festivities.

This event is hosted by Penrith City Council and assisted by the Australian Government through the National Australia Day Council.
