Summer fun at Ripples on Australia Day.
RIPPLES Aquatic and Leisure Centres at Penrith and St Marys are inviting the community to the biggest Australia Day pool party on Monday 26 January from 8am to 6pm!
With a free, fun-filled program, visitors will enjoy interactive workshops, be captivated by circus performances, and participate in a range of fantastic giveaways. There is something for everyone of all ages this Australia Day.
By beating the summer heat at Ripples, attendees can purchase food from the Kiosk, enjoy a poolside picnic, or indulge in a classic Aussie sausage sizzle.
Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said everyone’s welcome to bring their friends and family to join us for a day of summer activities, swimming and celebration at Ripples.
“This free inclusive event is a wonderful way for our community to come together, cool off, and celebrate Australia Day with fun activities for the whole family,” Cr Carney said.
“Council is again hosting this popular pool party, which has been a much-loved community favourite over the past few years.”
To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all guests, Ripples will implement capacity restrictions as numbers increase at the venues. We encourage visitors to arrive early to secure their spot and make the most of the day’s festivities.
This event is hosted by Penrith City Council and assisted by the Australian Government through the National Australia Day Council.
