Location
The Riverwood Community Festival takes place in our fabulous Salt Pan Creek Wetlands. Once an underused paddock, the area has been transformed into a vibrant, interactive parkland for our community to enjoy
Located just 18 kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD, Riverwood is shared by both Canterbury and Hurstville local government areas (LGA's). With a train station in the centre of the shopping precinct and a popular route for buses, Riverwood is never too far away from those who want to experience the peace and laid-back atmosphere that is at the heart of fabulous Riverwood.
