With more than 340 days of the year experiencing glorious sunshine, Sydney is without doubt, the place to go for outdoor activities. Get stuck in with 5 of the most epic outdoor activities in Penrith!
Get Wet At Penrith Whitewater Stadium
When it comes to sports activities in Sydney, Penrith Whitewater Stadium is top-notch. Located at the foot of the Blue Mountains, this place was the competition venue for the canoe/kayak slalom events during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. The entire white-water course has been constructed using both natural and man-made materials to recreate in-the-wild river thrills, with some 14,000 litres of raging white-water per second flowing over this moveable obstacle system. Even some of the best paddlers in the world have found the course to be a challenging ride so if extreme fun is what you’re looking for this is the place for you.
