Camden Bicentennial Equestrian Park

Hello Equestrian Park friends.

Don’t be that person who leaves baling twine behind! 😬 It’s unsightly, jams up mowers, and breaks down into microplastics that hurt our environment. 🐎🌿 Let’s keep our park beautiful—take your twine with you when you go!

Dear Recreational Riders

As you may be aware Camden Show is being held 4th & 5th April and in preparation there will be many vehicle movements related to the Show around the Exeter St and Cawdor Rd sections of the BEP from today until Wednesday 9th April

We suggest that all recreational riders avoid using these areas of the Park and request that anyone wishing to use the Park do so by entering via the Southern Gates off Sheathers Lane for Park access.

Please note that there is no Equestrian access to the Main Arena & Pony Club between Wednesday 2nd and Wednesday 9th April

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Hello everyone,

We’re delighted by the enthusiastic use of our main arena by our equestrian groups and recreational riders. It’s clear that this space is valued by our community, and Camden Council is committed to keeping it a premier venue for equine activities.

To maintain the arena’s quality and enhance safety, we’ve made the decision to reserve the main arena primarily for competition events. This will help preserve the grass surface and soil structure, minimising wear and reducing any potential slip hazards for horses.
By focusing on competition use, we can better allocate resources to keep the arena in peak condition. Starting today, the main arena will be secured with key access provided only to competition event organisers, with signage to be installed soon.

As part of this commitment, we’ll be increasing maintenance activities after competitions, including:
• Regular irrigation
• Topdressing
• Fertilising
• W**d management
• Aeration
• Mowing to an optimal grass length

We’re also progressing the installation of permanent irrigation for this arena and others and are actively working to secure funding for a complete resurfacing project of the main arena, with advanced drainage to complement the irrigation.

For training and recreational riding, riders are welcome to enjoy the three other fully fenced arenas and the open parkland space within the park. Training and practice event organisers will be contacted separately to arrange the relocation of training and practice days for 2025 and beyond.

Thank you for your support and understanding as we work together to enhance and preserve this valuable community facility for the safety and enjoyment of all our park users.

Great news!

The repair and reconstruction of the bridge between the Main and PoloX arenas is now complete and is reopened.

Park users should note that the bridge is covered with fresh crusher dust, which remains loose and will need time to settle so please use with care.

Please be advised that the Main Arena remains closed for ongoing maintenance and watering. We ask park users to avoid entering the arena for the next 10 days.

They will be located throughout the park including a new twin set near the Pony Club and renewal of all existing sets around the Southern Arenas.
Works will take a few weeks.
