Sinclair crescent carpark upgrade complete

19 December 2025

The new, expanded carpark on Sinclair Crescent, opposite Wentworth Falls Lake, is now fully open for the community ahead of the Christmas holiday period.

Together with the first stage of the carpark upgrade completed in late October this year, the full carpark now provides:

• 51 spaces, including two accessible parking spots

• A pedestrian crossing and traffic calming

• A bus stop upgrade

• New lighting and landscaping

The new, sealed carpark replaces and significantly expands what was a previously unmarked gravel area and provides additional and safer parking options for locals and visitors to the lake.

Improving safety and accessibility from the moment people arrive at the lake has been one of the guiding principles that’s directed all the recent upgrades across this beautiful space.

Importantly, this parking upgrade includes a new crossing and traffic calming measures to help improve safety as people park and get from their vehicle over to the lake.

Next year, as part of the current upgrade program, improvements will be made to some of the recreational facilities at the lake and a precinct walk around the lake will be formalised. Further updates will be provided as planning progresses.

The Sinclair Crescent carpark upgrade has been funded by the NSW Government's Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program and the Australian Government’s Preparing Australian Communities - Local Stream Grants Program.

    Thanks for taking the time to complete the survey about the replacement play space for Wentworth Falls Lake. 

    Both options have a nature based style with many adventurous and inclusive elements. We would like to know which option you prefer. 

    There is also some scope for mix and match on the feature pieces. 

    The final design will take into account community preferences as well as being within the capacity of the allocated funding. 

    Please review Option 1, Option 2 and the Comparison Table before completing the survey.

    We have already had some great input into the Wentworth Falls Lake Masterplan earlier this year.

    We have drafted an early stage preliminary version of this document, which you can view here. You may find the Site Analysis and Design Strategies documents useful reading as well.

    *Please view the preliminary Masterplan before completing this survey*

    As we are still working on the Plan of Management and designs for the accessible walkway, we will speak to you later in the year about that. 

    This survey closes on Sunday 12 July.

    There are currently two playgrounds at Wentworth Falls Lake - the junior pirate ship playground closer to the dam wall and the older children’s playground near the new toilets.

    Funding has been found through the ‘Everyone Can Play’ grant to assist Council in upgrading the older children’s playground. 

    What we would like to know, is what type of new playground you think would fit in well at Wentworth Falls Lake.

    Further input will be sought as we progress the design.

    This survey closes on Sunday 12 July.
