Greenway Park
Council is undertaking significant capital works within the Greenway Park Precinct to provide increased and improved open space for the local community.

This represents the first major works to the sportsground since the facility was established 30 years ago.

The seven sporting clubs that call Cherrybrook’s Greenway Park home include:
- Penno Stags Rugby League Club
- Pennant Hills Senior AFL Club
- Westbrook Junior AFL Club
- Greenway Giants Baseball and Softfall Club
- West Pennant Hills and Cherrybrook Cricket Club
