On 26 June 2006, Parramatta City Council decided
to reopen Lake Parramatta for swimming during "organised events".
The first of these was to be held on 3rd
December 2006, when Parramatta City Swim Club will conduct the " Lake
Parramatta Cup" in conjunction with the Parramatta Council's Freshwater
Festival. This would be the first time in more than 35 years the Lake
will be open for swimming.
Due to inclement weather
leading up to the event, it was necessary to close the lake for all swimming
on the day. The club is working with the Council to determine another suitable
date for this event.
Location
Lake Parramatta is located some 2.2km North
of Parramatta Station. The
entry to the Lake Parramatta is via Lackey Street, North Parramatta.

Off-street parking for the event will be available
off Bourke Street, just outside the gates to the park.
