Penrith City Council wins second award for Gipps Street

Wednesday, 16 July 2025

Penrith City Council has received national recognition for its Gipps Street Recreation Precinct project, winning the Outdoor Sport and Leisure Facility Design Award at the 2025 Australian Sport, Recreation and Play Innovation Awards.

The awards recognise individuals, government, not-for-profits, the commercial sector, play sector, recreation and sports for their innovation to get more people active in the community.

Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said the award was a testament to Council’s commitment to deliver high quality sport and recreation infrastructure for the community.

“This is Council’s second award for the Gipps Street Recreation Precinct, which was also recently named Community Facility of the Year at the Parks and Leisure Australia NSW/ACT 2025 Annual Regional Awards of Excellence,” Cr Carney said.

“We always knew that the precinct would be a winner, and these awards are proof that Council achieved our vision for a high-quality facility for everyone in our community to enjoy.

“But we haven’t stopped there – Council has completed 106 projects across the local government area over the past 5 years in line with our Sport and Recreation Strategy.

There’s also another 40 projects in the pipeline including plans to build a new indoor multi-sports arena in Claremont Meadows and central park in St Marys, plus upgrades at Cook Park, Bennett Park, Andromeda Drive Reserve and playspaces throughout the City.”
