about the venue

 Penrith Whitewater Stadium was the competition venue for the canoe/kayak slalom events during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Located only an hour from Sydney, it is the only man-made whitewater course of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.

The construction of the Stadium was a joint venture between Penrith City Council, the International Canoe Federation and the Olympic Co-ordination Authority.

Penrith Whitewater is available year round for whitewater rafting, kayaking, beach volleyball and guided venue tours, all of which may be arranged by prior booking.
