The wakeboard lakes are purpose-built to provide a consistent, flat-water surface regardless of wind conditions.
The cable system uses a continuous pulley mechanism that replaces the need for traditional boat towing.
The inflatable Aqua Park features modular obstacles like slides, climbing frames, and balance beams that are periodically reconfigured.
The facility serves as a training ground for professional wakeboarders due to its technical features and obstacles.
The water used in the lakes is sourced from the broader Penrith Lakes Scheme, which repurposed former quarry sites into a recreational area.
Cables Wake Park is an outdoor watersports complex in Penrith featuring two full-size cable systems for wakeboarding and kneeboarding. The facility includes an inflatable Aqua Park obstacle course situated on a dedicated lake. It utilizes overhead cable towing technology, allowing multiple riders to navigate the water simultaneously. The park is situated within the Penrith Lakes precinct near the base of the Blue Mountains. Visitors can rent equipment including boards, helmets, and life jackets on-site. The site provides a tiered approach to instruction, catering to both absolute beginners and advanced riders. Spectator areas offer viewing decks overlooking the water. On-site amenities include a café, a pro shop, and BBQ facilities for public use.
The elevated viewing deck overlooking the main wakeboarding lake provides a clear vantage point for action shots.

Arrive early to complete the mandatory safety briefing and equipment fitting before your session start time.
Wear rash vests or wetsuits to prevent skin irritation from the cable-tow handles and lake water.
Do not attempt advanced jumps or rail slides without previous experience on the basic cable circuit.
The Aqua Park operates seasonally, typically closing during the cooler winter months; wakeboarding remains open year-round.
Competency in swimming is mandatory for all water activities; life jackets must be worn at all times while on the water.
