New Access Gates Installation, Tuesday 3 March – Friday 6 March 

We're excited to let you know that new access gates will be installed at PARC in early March. 

We're committed to continually improving our facility and the experience of every member and guest. This upgrade is fully funded through Frankston City Council's Capital Works Program, and reflects the ongoing commitment between Council and Peninsula Leisure to continually invest in community infrastructure that supports health, safety and wellbeing. 

The new Sec-Pro gates will be a significant improvement to how you arrive and enter the Centre, with: 

✔️ Instant response time 

✔️ Improved reliability 

✔️ Improved accessibility with wider gates 

During the installation period, any gates already fitted will remain in the open position, and our team will be on hand to assist. For members attending a Group Exercise Class, please be sure to check in by scanning your wristband at our kiosks. 

To learn more about our access gate upgrades, visit our blog via the link in our bio.

Did you know Dry Needling/Accupuncture is available from the Compass Allied Health team, located in our Allied Health Suites

Dry needling is a technique where a very fine needle is gently inserted into tight or painful muscles to release “knots” (trigger points). These tight spots can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.

The goal? It help muscles relax, move better, and feel less painful.

Who can benefit?
• Athletes & active people
• Anyone with tight or stiff muscles
• Desk-related neck or back pain
• Headaches, sciatica, jaw pain (TMJ), or joint issues

Curious if dry needling is right for you? Get in touch with Compass Allied Health to book an initial consult with Jack (Giac).
⭐️ Swimming for a cause: Meet Clinton Hosie ⭐️
 
This February, PARC Aquatic Access member Clinton Hosie is taking on a new challenge - swimming 14km to raise funds for the Starlight Children’s Foundation as part of their Super Swim.
 
Every minute of every day, a child in Australia is admitted to hospital. Clinton is diving in to help bring joy, laughter, and comfort to sick kids when they need it most.
 
We love seeing you at PARC putting in the laps, Clinton - your dedication in and out of the pool is inspiring.
 
Good luck, have fun, and thank you for swimming for such an important cause!

Still buzzing from the Waterfront Festival! 🎡 

What an absolutely incredible event! A massive congratulations to our Frankston Skatepark team for pulling off such an massive activation. It was fantastic to see so many local riders on the half pipe, and seeing our community rally around them and enjoying the mini skate lessons! 

Rotary Peninsula 2.0's annual Duck Derby was full of fun and chaos! It was so much fun cheering on our very own duck, Percy and Hydro, to the finish line. 

Thank you so much @waterfrontfest for having us! We can’t wait for next year!
