As a collective, we are an organisation who loves nothing more than giving to our local communities in a way that is deliberate, passionate and with commitment. We recognise the importance of our clubs exhibiting their own personality and being relevant to the community in which they sit.
Nestled between the frantically paced major cities of Sydney and Newcastle, the Central Coast is a welcome, relaxed pause. Life here is a little slower and we are blessed to have some of Australia’s most spectacular coastline right in our own backyard.
Salty-haired, thong-clad, tanned, sun-kissed crowds, adorn the coastline from Lakes Beach in the North to Pearl Beach in the South. Locals proudly show off their favourite swimming spots, coastal walks and cycleways to visitors who are awestruck at the natural beauty on show every day on the Coast.
Mingara’s little piece of this magnificence is Tumbi Umbi, a semi-rural area with a coastal vibe that hugs the shores of Tuggerah Lakes. The original custodians of our land, the Darkinjung people, knew the area as ‘a place of much water’. Mingara Recreation Club itself is the heart of the community in this area. It’s the place where you are warmly welcomed and will find locals who can escape the everyday with great coffee, cocktails, craft beer or the finest Australian wine; it’s where they dine out with family and friends, celebrate life’s milestones or simply relax with live entertainment. It’s a place to escape, to laugh, to be entertained, relax and indulge… Life’s Great at Mingara!

The Greens, The Entrance is the most recent club to join the Mingara Leisure Group family. In March 2020, an electrical fire destroyed the Club and we are currently working on plans to rebuild the club house for members and the local community.
Located on the beautiful Central Coast, not too far from Mingara, The Greens is situated in an idyllic location right near The Entrance and Blue Bay. A holiday-makers playground with stunning beaches, lakes and plenty of outdoor activity. The area has been a well-known and popular tourist destination for decades.
While we rebuild, The Greenkeepers Shed, which is now open, is the locals’ hangout serving great quality, good value cafe style food, barista made coffee, wine and of course their favourite beers on tap.
