Mingara Recreation Club was formed back in 1971 by a neighbourhood of people in Berkeley Vale who reached out to each other. They reached out in mateship for support and great times.

Meetings and fundraising activities continued in local community halls for approximately 2 years, when an application was made for some land in Adelaide Street, Tumbi Umbi. The land was granted and the club of now 200 members purchased some ex-Army Huts to create the first clubhouse.

In October 2012, Mingara was successful in another amalgamation with The Gordon Rugby Club at Chatswood. Re-branded and freshly renovated, Pearl Club Chatswood is an intimate, boutique style club in the Mandarin Centre, at the heart of a bustling Chatswood. Pearl offers members an ideal place to relax and indulge and discover new rewards and entertainment.

Today, Mingara Leisure Group is the social and sporting hub for over 45,000 members on the Central Coast, Port Macquarie, Chatswood and Canterbury communities.

In addition to our wonderful facilities, we support over 200 sporting, health, education, welfare and sporting groups and contribute over $1 million every year to support these organisations and live our vision.
