There will be a community open day this Sunday 16 July to celebrate the reopening of the Lake Ainsworth Sport & Recreation Centre, on the shores of the lake in Lennox Head.
The family-friendly event will run from 10am-4pm, open to all, with no registration or booking required. Public entry to the centre on the day will be via the southern walking entrance (near the BBQs north of the surf club, on the lakeside walk).
Activities and entertainment on Sunday will include:
- Free sports clinics – NRL, soccer, cricket, rugby, dragon boats, wheelchair sports, sailability, and more.
- Rock climbing, traditional Indigenous games and site tours.
- Live music from local artist Ben Whiting.
- Free face painting from Polly Esta from 12.30-3pm.
Food!
There will also be a selection of food trucks serving up the flavours of the world, or visitors are welcome to pack a picnic basket and bring a blanket to enjoy a fun day between the beautiful lake and Seven Mile Beach.
Organisers have emphasised that the day will be alcohol and dog-free.
The Lake Ainsworth Sport & Recreation Centre will be reopening the following day, Monday 17 July, for public and school bookings.
Offerings include weddings and functions, sport and training camps, and community/group bookings.
