Penrith’s City Park will transform into a winter wonderland in June – complete with an authentic ice-skating rink.
The park in the Penrith CBD will celebrate the Winter Solstice over the June long weekend.
There will be a range of activities, including the ice-skating rink, activities for young children and teenagers, entertainment and have a variety of food offerings at restaurants open along High Street.
Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said he is thrilled the event will take place in the heart of Penrith, providing an opportunity for community members and visitors to enjoy the winter festivities and our vibrant CBD.
“This fantastic event will allow families, young people and groups of friends the chance to experience the nightlife of Penrith, with lots of fun winter themed activities to enjoy,” Carney said.
“By supporting our local businesses, I encourage residents to try the restaurants that will be open along High Street in the Penrith CBD during the evening.
“I’d love to see as many of you out and about enjoying everything that Penrith has to offer after dark.”
It’s the first time the event will be held at Penrith and a showcase of what City Park can be used for in years to come.
A range of delicious food will be available at local restaurants offering tasty treats and dinner delights as well as incredible live performances throughout the long weekend from Friday, June 6 until Monday, June 9.
The ice-skating rink will be open from 12pm to 9pm (Friday to Sunday) and 9am to 4pm (Monday) and you can secure your ticket at http://www.penrithwintersolstice.starsonice.com.au/tickets.
