The sand pitch was refurbished prior to the commencement of the hockey season in mid-April 2012. The works for the main pitch commenced in early April and, after numerous rain delays and issues with ground conditions, were completed in October 2012.
Stage two of the Penrith Hockey Centre upgrade will involve refurbishing the existing Hockey Centre facilities and amenities.
