Lakes Leisure launches new website

17 Nov 2008 - Sophie

Lakes Leisure Limited, the organisation set-up in January to operate and manage leisure and recreation facilities and services in the Lakes District, has launched its new website.

www.lakesleisure.co.nz has been created to provide interactive, accessible information on leisure, recreation, venues and entertainment in the Southern Lakes.

Features of the website include details on venues and facilities such as the Queenstown Events Centre and Alpine Aqualand, community and after school programmes, sports fields, learn to swim school, turf management and events operated by the organisation. A notice board will also provide a platform for publishing community notices such as field and facility closures or transport management in place for events.

“The site will be a reliable source of information about Lakes Leisure and community activities” said CEO Fiona McKissock.

The scope of the website was unlimited with the potential for reaching local and world-wide audiences. “For example, local children will be able to download an Aqualand Swim School colouring competition while a professional conference organiser based in America can research venues for a gala dinner” said Ms Gemmell, Events and Marketing Manager.

Ongoing development and growth of the website was planned including a blogging notebook and avenues for community sports and leisure groups to communicate with their members.

A competition encouraging people to visit the website was running until the 17th December with a Lakes Leisure prize pack worth over $1,000 on offer.
