NEWS: New outdoor synthetic pitch at Leisuretime Centre set to open in early April
THE NEW multi-million dollar outdoor synthetic football pitch at the Leisuretime Centre in Bell Post Hill is set to open in early April and will be a multi-use, FIFA standard synthetic pitch available all year round to local Geelong region clubs and groups.
The Leisuretime Centre Multi-Use Synthetic Pitch is a Full-Size FIFA 1 Star Standard Synthetic Pitch with LED Floodlighting to over 200 LUX. This type of facility is of a high standard that can’t be found in many other locations in Victoria.
The pitch comes at a total cost of approximately $2 million whereby both the City of Greater Geelong and State Government of Victoria have contributed. The pitch installation itself has been installed by Greenplay Australia – A FIFA Preferred Producer.
The pitch can be used in several different configurations including Full Pitch, Half Pitch and Small Sided Football. The pitch will also be accompanied by player and official shelters, removable goals, and storage compounds.
Expressions of Interest for the upcoming football season bookings will open on 1 March 2018 and conclude on 16 March 2018.
The venue is encouraging clubs to submit expressions of interest preferences for days, times, and pitch sizes (full or half pitch). Then once the expression of interest period closes, booking confirmations for the preceding month will be sent to all clubs.
Expressions of Interest can be made by visiting the Leisuretime Centre’s booking request form and adding your preferences.

Once the monthly bookings have been confirmed the facility will become available to casual users wishing to make occasional bookings in periods not already booked.
