More than 500 residents celebrated a Family Fun Day at Penrith City Council’s $6 million state-of-the-art Glenmore Park Child and Family Precinct recently.
Penrith City Mayor Kevin Crameri OAM said the Family Fun Day was a great opportunity for local residents to get a first look at the centre and adventure playground and what it has to offer them and their families.
“Penrith City Council’s child care centre staff provided a huge range of activities and equipment for the many children who attended.
“The water play stations, face painting and play dough were particularly popular,” Councillor Crameri said.
“The day also gave parents a chance to check out the great new facility and speak with staff about available child care options at the centre. Penrith City Council received about 25 applications for enrolment at the centre on the day.”
The Australian Breast Feeding Association – Hawkesbury/Nepean conducted demonstration classes for expectant parents and the professional rooms were also open for the public to inspect.
Brighter Futures, Mission Australia and Spyns Inc provided a range of exciting activities including opportunities for children to engage in storytelling, reading and craft and music activities while there were always long lines at the jumping castle and the petting zoo.
Penrith Rotary Club kept the barbeques fired up and managed to distribute 400 sausage and onion sandwiches in under two hours.
