The long awaited new family centre at Blue Hills is finally ready and Penrith Council is holding an Open Day there on the 28th March, 2010.
The Glenmore Park Child and Family Centre, built and managed by Penrith City Council, provides a range of services for families in Glenmore Park. The centre at 31 Blue Hills Drive contains a children’s centre offering long day care, two community meeting rooms available for hire, a café with seating in an open forecourt and an all abilities playground with secure fencing for families to relax and enjoy the space.
The 50 place Centre is currently taking enrolments for children from 
ages 0-6 years. The Centre offers a preschool program for 3-5 year olds, a hot meal during the day and morning and afternoon tea. Nappies and food are included in the daily price and all staff are trained in contemporary practice including the Early Years Learning Framework.
The two community rooms are currently available for hire for community meetings. Two community professional rooms have been leased to a number of service providers including psychology services, play therapy, diabetic services and podiatry services.
The Family Fun Day will have a free sausage sizzle run by the Penrith Valley Rotary Club, free activities including a jumping castle, face painting, story telling and play dough modelling. The playground is also available for the children to enjoy. For information, phone 4733 2435 or email glenmoreparkcfc@penrithcity.nsw.gov.au.
