We've decided to postpone untill the 27th of March. Stay safe and dry!

Following NSW Health orders, outdoor gatherings are now limited to 200 people.
Please note that this is a revised order as of 29 March 2021.
Please remember social distancing and other COVID-19 safety guidelines when visiting the Parklands.
The health and safety of our visitors and staff is our priority. We are closely checking and responding to NSW Health advice in this rapidly changing environment and will keep you updated as health restrictions are eased.
Western Sydney Parklands is open and we are monitoring visitor numbers and behaviour to make sure we continue to provide a quality experience for everyone.
If COVID-19 numbers increase and social distancing becomes difficult, we will consider making the Parklands pedestrian-only and closing playgrounds if necessary.
Check our Frequently Asked Questions for details. For more information on these rules, head to the NSW Government website.
To keep yourself and others safe, remember to:
Parklands staff are required to practise social distancing and will be keeping a close eye on visitors to ensure the Health Orders are followed.
Staff will also follow hygiene rules, stay home if they feel unwell and self-isolate if they have recently returned from overseas or have come in close or casual contact with a COVID-19 positive person.
NSW Police have declared that they will be officially monitoring and enforcing Government protocols, supported by Parklands staff when necessary.
The following venues are OPEN to the public as follows:
Please check directly with the venues if you have any questions about their operating hours or services.

Western Sydney Parklands Trust continues to work closely with the M12 Motorway team as they prepare for the motorway to start construction in 2022.
This preparation includes doing geo-technical investigation and survey works inside the Parklands. The results will provide information on the soil profile of the ground so the project team can prepare the detailed design to build the motorway.
Over the next few months when visiting the Parklands, you may see activity associated with these investigations. This means seeing or hearing a rig drilling borehole, seeing crews digging test pits or vehicles accessing more remote areas of the Parklands.
The work is not expected to be very noisy and crews will work to get in and out of an area as quickly as possible.
Work areas will be secured during the investigations and access to the general public will not be permissible.
We will work with the M12 team to ensure any dirt dug up is backfilled and any turf that may have been disturbed during the work is re-turfed.
Thank you for your patience while these investigations are underway. See our frequently asked questions for information about changes to WYLDE MTB due to the construction of the M12.
For more information about the investigations or the M12 email m12motorway@rms.nsw.gov.au or call 1800 517 155.
The Trust advises of the closure of the Hanover Street, Cecil Hills pedestrian access to the Parklands.
The Trust has made numerous attempts to resolve an on-going issue with night time anti-social and illegal activity at this track but the problem has proven to be intractable, impacting on the quality of life of local residents. Following community consultation meetings with residents, NSW Police and Liverpool City Council, the Trust implemented control measures over the last three years. Unfortunately, these measures have not been effective at stopping the disturbance to local residents. The Trust has now made the decision that the only viable strategy is to remove the stairs and the access via Hanover Street.
Cecil Hills residents can still access the M7 cycleway and Parklands from the two other nearby track entries at Kensington Close and Jaquetta Close (Rene Place) – both approximately 10minute walk from the Hanover Street entrance.
The Trust is satisfied that on balance, the benefit of the track for the small number of genuine users was not enough to warrant the ongoing disruption of local residents’ lives.
In 2020 the Trust is planning a refresh to the overall Parklands tracks and trails masterplan and in this process, will consider the long-term access solutions in Cecil Hills and adjacent residential areas. For more information on Western Sydney Parklands track and trails click here.
Western Sydney Parklands is home to more than 60km of tracks and trails. Come and explore them and get back to what really matters – nature, family, friends, and fun.
