The Crusaders Recreation & Conference Centre is located on the eastern foreshore of Bonnells Bay at Lake Macquarie.

This prominent Lake Site includes five new accommodation buildings, a multi-function/dining hall, two indoor meeting spaces, a maintenance building, an administration building and new boat shed & storage facilities.

The emphasis of the landscape design is to retain as many of the existing trees, archaeological middens sites and important ecological corridor links from the Yarrawonga Park to the lake foreshore. The project includes both passive & active open space recreation facilities such as outdoor volleyball, climbing tower, ropes play, archery and open space recreation oval.
