Our sister Centre, PINES, are extending their opening hours! 🥳
PINES` opening hours will be extended for the months of January and February 2026.
The updated hours for January and February are:
– Monday – Friday, 6am – 8pm
– Weekends and public holidays, 8am – 7pm
By extending the our opening hours into the evening, we are able to provide more access to the public so you can get your laps in, or just enjoy a dip in the pool later in the summer evening.

Can`t wait to see you all there!
Move more in 2026 with 30-20-2 💙
Life is busy, and finding time to exercise can feel overwhelming. Being active isn’t about pushing yourself to the limit — it’s about moving consistently and finding a balance that works for you. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Introducing 30-20-2, our simple movement guide based on the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines, designed to make movement achievable and part of everyday life.
Here’s what it means.
Adults in Australia should aim for:
30 mins moderate activity daily 🚶♂️🏊♂️
Moderate activity means you’re moving, breathing comfortably, and able to speak in full sentences. Think swimming, a brisk walk, or joining a PARC class.
OR
20 mins vigorous activity daily 🏃♂️🚴♂️
Vigorous activity gets your heart pumping—you’re breathing hard and speaking in short bursts. Try a cycle class, HIIT session, or a gym workout.
AND
2 strength sessions per week 💪🏋♂️
Build strength with resistance training. Try lifting weights the gym, or a Reformer Pilates class.
Throughout 2026, we’ll support you with the right mix of classes, programs, and expert guidance to help you move more, your way.
Come and talk to our friendly team about becoming a member today.
Today is National Personal Trainer Day! 🏋️
At PARC we have an incredible team of Personal Trainers, ready to help you achieve your goals in 2026.

It’s been a big year behind the scenes at PARC 👏
Working alongside Frankston City Council, our Asset & Facilities team delivered major upgrades across the Centre — all focused on creating the best possible experience for our members and community. While much of this work happens quietly, its impact is felt every day.
That commitment was recognised in June, when PARC was named Facility of the Year (Large) at the Aquatics & Recreation Victoria Excellence Awards 🏆
📊 The numbers behind the work:
• 1,238 planned and reactive maintenance and upgrade projects
• 2,145 contractors supported on site
🚧 Tiling Upgrade Project
💧 New Boiler Installation
🛝 Water Slide & Tower Refurbishment Project
🏗️ Upgrades to heating and cooling through the Centre (HVAC Project)
🛟 Instillation of Lynxight
🧘♀️ Reformer Pilates Studio
From the whole team at PARC, we would like to extend a massive thank you to you, our fantastic members and patrons, for your ongoing patience and support throughout these upgrades. We hope that you enjoy the improvements made and look forward to another year together at PARC!

You set the PACE in 2025. Now let’s get ready for 2026!
As 2025 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the incredible year we’ve shared with our PARC community.
This year’s theme Your PACE at PARC encouraged you to embrace health and wellbeing on your terms. Because at PARC, we know that feeling good and staying active looks different for everyone. Our role is to help you discover what works best for you.
As we look ahead, we’re excited for all that 2026 will bring. Our focus next year is simple: helping more of our community get moving, stay active, and make movement a natural part of everyday life.
