Stockland Wetherill Park (known as “Stockies” to locals) is a shopping mall in Wetherill Park, Sydney, Australia. Being an indoor and outdoor shopping centre, it is 47th-largest by area in the country.Costing $142 million to build, the centre was established in 1983 and has been through four phases of redevelopment, with the major one completed in September 2016, where it had undergone a $228 million renovation with some 5,600 m2 (60,000 sq ft) of retail space.
The shopping centre features Coles, Woolworths, Big W, Kmart, JB Hi-Fi, Angus & Coote and 200 specialty stores, including over 20 fashion stores. It also features a refurbished, twelve-screen Hoyts cinema with leather seating and recliners, a 24-hour gym and alfresco dining with floor-to-ceiling windows. The center features "The Grove", which contains an 800-seat indoor-outdoor food terrace with 14 restaurants, cafes and food operators, with those outside being in a lane-way setting. Cuisines in the eateries include Thai, Mexican, Vietnamese and Italian, among others.
The center has also opened an extra 910 car parking spaces in 2016, bringing the total to close to 2700 spaces, which is a 30% increase on the number of spaces available before the redevelopment. The mall's height is roughly around 15 metres. Furthermore, the shopping centre also includes a children's playground, which is on the outdoor section of the mall.
