Penrith Council continues precinct-wide upgrade at Monfarville Reserve

Penrith Council continues to cater for its community’s needs and has advised that construction is underway on a new amenities building at Monfarville Reserve in St Marys - a key feature in the upgrades transforming the reserve.

The new amenities building will include increased storage space, accessible toilets, officials changerooms and gender equitable changerooms.

The upgrades to Monfarville Reserve will ensure that sport and active recreation opportunities are accessible to the whole community, breaking down gender and accessibility barriers.

Upgrades also include a new two-lane cricket practice facility, alongside landscaping and tree planting, adding to the green space and natural beauty of the reserve.

New accessible pathways will also connect the new amenities building and player dugouts.

Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said the upgrades are an exciting step forward for the St Marys community and noted “Monfarville Reserve is a well-loved precinct, particularly for local cricket and baseball clubs. These upgrades will bring much-needed modern and accessible facilities which will benefit the whole community.

“As St Marys continues to grow, Council is committed to providing the facilities that will cater to the needs of our community.”

The Monfarville Reserve amenities upgrade and cricket practice facility are funded by the NSW Government and Penrith City Council.

Council will also deliver a new playspace at Monfarville Reserve later this year, designed in collaboration with Year 5 and 6 students from St Marys South Public School as part of the annual Penrith Mayoral Challenge program.

The Monfarville Reserve precinct upgrades were identified through the Sport and Recreation Strategy, Council’s 15-year road map for the future provision of sport, play, recreation and open space across the City.
