North Richmond Panthers has officially lifted the curtain on its brand-new alfresco area, marking the first stage in an exciting new chapter for the popular local club.

The opening, held last week, drew a strong crowd of community members, including Hawkesbury Deputy Mayor Sarah McMahon and Councillor Jill Reardon. Guests enjoyed a relaxed evening of live music, great food and a first look at the stylish new outdoor precinct.

Panthers Nth Richmond General Manager Joanne Price said the new space

has been thoughtfully created with the community in mind.

“ We have created a space for people to gather, relax and enjoy great food and company,” Ms Price said.“ It is also a space that can grow alongside our community.”

Designed by Richie from Monocal Design and constructed by Dark Horse Projects from Penrith, the alfresco area delivers a fresh, modern feel while maintaining a welcoming and familyfriendly atmosphere. Featuring unique gazebo-style dining spaces, the layout offers both comfort and versatility for patrons.

The open-air setting is ideal for casual catch-ups, whether it’ s a long lunch, dinner with friends or watching the game on the big screen. Families are also well catered for, with a dedicated play area nearby giving kids space to enjoy themselves while parents unwind.

A new tapas-style menu has been introduced to complement the outdoor dining experience, adding a relaxed, sharestyle option for guests looking to sample a variety of flavours.

The venue is also set to become a lively hub for entertainment, with regular Sunday sessions featuring live music

already on the agenda. In addition, the alfresco space will be available for private functions and events, offering a versatile setting for celebrations and gatherings.

Importantly, this development is just the beginning. The alfresco area represents Stage One of a broader vision for Panthers North Richmond, with two additional stages of upgrades planned in the near future.

With its combination of modern design, community focus and entertainment appeal, the new alfresco space is set to become a go-to destination for locals looking to dine, relax and connect.
