From the roundabout at the intersection of Castlereagh Rd and Old Castlereagh Rd, head west along Castlereagh Rd till you reach Gate A for entry to the Regatta Centre.

• If travelling from the city, exit the M4 Motorway at the Northern Road and following the signs to Sydney International Regatta Centre.
• Follow the Northern Rd, turn left Andrews Rd, go straight through the roundabout onto Old Castlereagh Rd.
• Enter via Gate A, show your barcode (only one needed per car) to the security guard at the gate to avoid paying any entry fee.
• After passing through the gate, take the first turn right, at the first roundabout, turn left toward the toilet building, follow the road to the right, parking is on the grassed area at the very end of this road (P6 carpark).

Penrith Lakes parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. We wish to make the event as safe as possible, so participants, spectators and helpers are asked to take care about the following:

• Please be considerate to the park and other park users at all times.
• Children under the age of eleven must be accompanied (within arm's reach) throughout the event by a parent, guardian or appropriate adult of the parent's choice.
• Please arrive by foot, by pedal-power or by public transport if you can - your efforts help to reduce our impact on the park and the planet.
• We invite everyone to consider volunteering at parkrun. Your support helps your parkrun events remain sustainable and free for all in your community, and it’s also a wonderful way to improve your own health and happiness. Please visit the volunteer page for more information.
• Take care near roads and car parks – some vehicles drive very quickly. Please congregate away from the cars and be careful in particular if you have children. If you’re driving to the event, please drive carefully.
• Take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other participants, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, park animals, vehicles, park maintenance work, falling branches, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
• Please ensure that you are fit enough to walk, jog, run 5k (3.1 miles) with us.
• If you see someone with a serious problem, please stop to help them out and get help as soon as possible.
• If you’re watching, keep clear of participants on the course, and look after any children and dogs you may have with you.
• It is not permitted to run with a pushchair and a dog at the same time.
• You are welcome to take part with one dog by your side, within reach at all times, on a short, handheld, non-extendable lead. The use of waist harnesses is prohibited. Please also see this Support Site entry for further details about parkrunning with dogs.
• parkrunners pushing buggies are welcome, but please take care of others around you and do your best to start at an appropriate place in the field for your pace.

We hope these tips help to ensure that Penrith Lakes parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
