[edit] Introduction
Pendle Hill is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Pendle Hill is located within the local government of Parramatta City Council.
[edit] Facilities
The suburb of Pendle Hill facilitates:
- A railway station
- A primary school (Pendle Hill Public School)
- A secondary school (Pendle Hill High School)
- Several parks, such as Civic Park and Binalong Park
- A shopping mall
[edit] Shopping Mall
The focus point of the suburb of Pendle Hill is the large shopping centre which is located immeadiately next to the train station. It contains a number of grocery stores, cafe's and discount stores, and includes a real-estate, bank and supermarket.
One of the main parks found in Pendle Hill is located just near this shopping centre, only a short two minute walk west of the railway station.
[edit] Civic Park
Civic Park is a large park located just west of the railway station. It connects the shopping centre's to the suburb of Girraween, and is frequently used as a thoroughfare for pedestrians heading to and from the railway station.
The park has a small river running through one side near the shopping centre, and wildlife can frequently be found on or around the banks of the river. In 2006, the local council undertook a project in which the banks of the river were re-enforced and the river was thoroughly cleaned of the rubbish that had gathered in the river-bed.
In the middle of the park, there are four tennis courts and a play equipment area. The latter proves particularly popular with the younger generations, along with feeding the ducks, and the former is frequently used by pensioners for a morning game of tennis.
The park also houses many of Western Sydney's dope junkies, armed attackers and has the highest count of syringes found on Clean Up Australia 2006 in all of NSW.
[edit] Binalong Park
Binalong Park (also known as Binalong Oval) is a large oval towards the north of Pendle Hill, and borders onto Toongabbie. The park contains two tennis courts and three (3) ovals. These both are particularly popular for sporting lessons, and weekend sporting events. The grounds are home to the Pendle Hill Colts Cricket Club, who compete in the Parramatta District Cricket association competitions at both junior and senior level.
[edit] Real-Estate
Pendle Hill has fairly steadly real-estate values that can be seen reflected in most suburbs in the Parramatta region.
Recently many older houses have been bought by developers and flattened to make way for apartment blocks and flats. This is particularly the case near the train-station. Developments in more suburban have been blocked by local residents.
