The best bookings management for your rec facilities!

We've got the best 'outdoors' in our own backyard!

☀️ Our beaches and reserves are wild and wonderful.

🏉 Our sports fields breed the world’s best players.

📣 Our courts bring communities together, cheering from the stands or serving up pies and hot chips after the game...

...yet managing rec spaces can be a nightmare! 😫  From allocating seasonal club bookings to navigating the multi-departmental permits and docs needed for larger events, it’s a time consuming and logistical headache.

In spite of the demand for ground allocation and sports facilities at peak times, there is a huge opportunity to increase casual and social utilisation of these public assets. But at many councils, booking a hockey pitch or tennis court for casual use can take longer than a game! For peppercorn leased managed clubs, there is little incentive for volunteer committees to spend time advertising and managing booking enquiries. It’s easier not to share.

At SpacetoCo, we believe enabling easy access to outdoor and indoor rec facilities improves community wellbeing and health outcomes, and we've put that belief into our platform. It does all the standard stuff you would expect like live availability, seasonal hirer management and online bookings & payments.

But what makes us different is that we’ve co-created our platform working with council rec teams like yours, so the features we’ve built will super charge your ability to manage and measure bookings and solve the admin headaches that stand in the way of growing community recreation participation. 🏅

👉 We present a vision for how councils can unlock their recreation spaces, reduce administrative costs and make them easily bookable and usable by communities. 

🎾 We show how other external organisations like clubs and schools can jump onboard with sharing too. 

☺️ We help empower your teams to engage and collaborate with communities - rather than just transact with them.
