THE WENTWORTH PARK GAMES

The Wentworth Park Games challenges residents of Glebe and Forest Lodge to take on Ultimo and Pyrmont in a day of fun sporting activity in historic Wentworth Park. Join in the People's Games to compete in such sports of antiquity as gumboot throwing, wine glass racing, Beckham bending, and obstacle courses. Heave away and haul away in the mass Pyrmont/Ultimo versus Glebe/Forest Lodge tug of war. Help your suburb to win the coveted Glebe Ultimo Pyrmont trophy, the GUP Cup!

Even the humble family dogs of Glebe, Forest Lodge, Pyrmont and Ultimo are called to action in the spectacular "Greyhound Racing for Non-Greyhounds" event, otherwise known as the Mongrel Cup.

Greyhounds as Pets will be there again with dogs and information about adopting a retired greyhound. You may discover your ideal family pet - gentle, obedient and very affectionate.

Vintage midget speedcars will be on show too, and a display of photos of the Wentworth Park speedway in the 1930s.

Following a tabulation of the day's results (a mathematical calculation that will make even the Eurovision song contest look straight forward), the GUP Cup will be awarded to the triumphant suburb.

Last year, over 1000 people attended the third Wentworth Park Games. Will Pyrmont/Ultimo be victorious in 2011? Residents and dogs of Glebe, Forest Lodge, Pyrmont, and Ultimo your suburb needs YOU! Be there for the Wentworth Park Games.
