Penrith Whitewater Stadium is the ultimate venue for whitewater paddling! 320 metres of solid Grade 3 whitewater designed to test the skills of the best paddlers in the world.

Whether you are into creeking, freestyle, slalom or packrafting, Penrith Whitewater Stadium is the place to paddle. 

To keep costs affordable, recreational paddling is held during rafting sessions. Recreational paddling session times will be published below in the recreational paddling schedule on this page. Bookings are essential.

First-time Recreational Paddlers

All first-time recreational paddlers will need to complete a Grade 3 Kayaking Skills Competency Assessment to demonstrate their skills to paddle PWS’s grade 3 whitewater course. The assessment is free of charge and is conducted with a Penrith Whitewater Stadium staff member prior to accessing the whitewater channel. First time users must arrive 30 minutes before their session start time to complete the competency assessment.
