MORE USERS ATTRACTED TO GLENREAGH RECREATION GROUND

MORE USERS ATTRACTED TO GLENREAGH RECREATION GROUND
The Glenreagh Recreation Ground has become more popular among grey nomads, equestrian enthusiasts and motor groups who flock to the camping area after the NSW Government invested more than $65,000 to upgrade facilities.
Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis said the upgrade had proved a game changer, delivering a new events office and a dry shaded area next to the canteen for campers to relax.
“The groups that hire Glenreagh Recreation Ground have been very positive because the new office allows them to manage their event and run a fully-functional canteen at the same time,” Mr Gulaptis said.
“The reserve has already seen an increase in bookings from its users and campers are extending their stays to multiple nights, meaning they spend more money in Glenreagh and support jobs in the bakery, pub, post office and general store.”
The reserve has secured three additional bookings from dog shows and agility trials, with users including Wollongong Dog Sports and Coffs Harbour Dog Sports. Regular users include No Fear Horsemanship, Tanja Kraus Horsemanship, Glenreagh Pony Cub, North Coast Carriage Club, Glenreagh Team Penning, Glenreagh Timber Festival, Canine Disc Australia, Little Athletics, Lions Club and the Rural Fire Service.
Glenreagh Recreation Ground has a circular arena for its main events and a smaller sand arena that can be used for equestrian events. There is a large overflow area for parking with car groups including the Coffs Coast Jeepers meeting there every year.
Minister for Lands and Water Kevin Anderson said the $65,453 investment was funded by the NSW Government’s Crown Reserves Improvement Fund, which enhances community facilities
and recreational spaces across the state.
“Our investment provided jobs for local tradespeople when they were needed most – when the community was feeling the effects of the downturns caused by COVID and the severe impact of the drought,” Mr Anderson said.
