Sydney International Regatta Centre
A spectacular event venue for either 10 or 30,000 people, the Sydney International Regatta Centre offers superior event facilities and is one of the region’s premier outdoor sport and entertainment venues for both on and off the water.
The safety of patrons is our top priority and we conduct daily water monitoring to determine whether the Lakes are safe to use.
Following a blue-green algal bloom on Penrith Lakes, Sydney International Regatta Centre is temporarily closed to the general public for on-water activities from 24 April 2024.
The venue remains open for land-based activities.
We are working with all affected venue hirers to arrange alternative dates for their events.
Please visit our Water Quality Management page for further information on how we minimise risk to people using the lakes..
