Father’s Day, the biggest day of the year for dads and father figures alike, is now just a little over a week away.
If you haven’t finalised your plans yet, thankfully it’s not too late to book your spot at one of the many special events taking place in Penrith on September 1.
Trees for Dad
If you’re looking to do something a bit different this Father’s Day, head over to Blue Hills Wetland in Glenmore Park for Penrith City Council’s annual Trees for Dad community tree planting event.

The event is split into 30-minute sessions, and registration is essential. Visit penrith.city/events.
