Join us at PARC today from 12.30pm – 3pm for a fun and inclusive Community Fundraising BBQ as we celebrate International Day of People with Disability! 💙
Every dollar raised will go directly towards our Community Participation Fund, helping subsidise important allied health and capacity-building programs that many of our clients would otherwise be unable to access.
Come along, enjoy a delicious BBQ, connect with the community, and support meaningful opportunities for people with disability.

What a fantastic day we had on Sunday at the Rotary Peninsula 2.0 Seaford Wetlands Fun Run!
Our incredible PARC trainers, Nic and Kristy, kicked things off with a fun warm up, while our More People Can Swim team kept the kids busy with water safety activities.
We’re proud to partner with Rotary Peninsula 2.0 on this wonderful community event and loved seeing so many familiar PARC member faces in the crowd.
🌳💚 Did you know we also support Rotary Peninsula 2.0’s Birth Tree initiative. Families can purchase a plaque on a tree planted for babies born this year, creating a lasting legacy in our community. Learn more via our blog: https://parc.peninsulaleisure.com.au/news/rotary-peninsula-2025-birth-tree-2/
National Water Safety Week starts tomorrow! 🛟
Our PARC Swim teachers will be focusing on water safety exercises during swimming lessons this week.
PARC Swim families, remember to bring old clothes or pajamas to your lessons to wear over your swimwear. 👕

Celebrating our Team 💙
At Friday night’s 2025 Frankston Business Chamber Business Excellence Gala Awards, Peninsula Leisure was proudly recognised with:
