Extended Summer Fun at The Pines! Season extended until 14 April

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: In partnership with Frankston City Council, we will be extending the summer season at Pines Forest Aquatic Centre until Sunday, April 14!

Typically, our beloved outdoor Pines Pool operates from November 1 to March 31 each summer. This year, due to overwhelming community support and high visitor numbers, we’re delighted to keep the gates open for the April School Holiday period.

Our regular opening hours will remain in place, except for Good Friday when we’ll be closed, and adjusted public holiday hours for the Easter long weekend.

We extend our thanks to Frankston City Council for their support. Together, we’re committed to fostering a happy, active, and connected community.

The success of this season is a testament to our Peninsula Leisure team and their commitment to our company values. We are proud of and thank everyone that has been a part of the season so far. 

Finally, a big thank you goes out to our incredible PINES community for making this past season truly exceptional. We can’t wait to see you all enjoying the extended summer vibes by the pool until the second week of April!

Join us, Pines Passionates, for even more summer fun – we’re eager to welcome you for an extended season of enjoyment, recreation and activity! See you at the pool!
