Penrith Whitewater Stadium ~ New South Wales, Austrailia

The 2000 Olympic Games have come and gone, but the Penrith Whitewater Stadium continues to carry out its Olympic legacy in style. The Stadium has become a project model for the future - a fully functioning and commercially successful sport venue, offering world-class whitewater to everyone from Olympic athletes to first-time curiosity seekers. Conveniently located within an hour's drive of a major urban center, Penrith has maintained its international appeal, hosting both the 2005 Slalom and 2005 Freestyle World Championships.

 

At Whitewater Parks International, we consider Penrith Whitewater Stadium to be the best whitewater facility model in operation anywhere in the world today. It was constructed in 1999 for AUD$6.5 million and remains the only commercially sustained, pump-driven whitewater facility in existence with a history of financial success. Its time-tested performance underscores the unique revenue-producing potential of the purpose-built whitewater park concept. Steady annual growth in both patronage and net profit since Penrith's inception build a strong case for the viability of similar facilities in other large metropolitan areas. Our hands-on involvement in the creation and on-going development of the Penrith facility gives WPI a distinct advantage in applying the most successful elements of this unrivaled working model to new projects in new locations.
