Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton Relay @ PARC, Sunday 11 February 

We are excited to announce that PARC has been chosen as the first live site in Frankston to host the Queen’s Baton Relay on Sunday 11 February. Come along and cheer on local legends as they carry the Queen’s Baton through Frankston City, towards its final destination – the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) Opening Ceremony on 4 April 2018. The Baton will begin it’s Frankston journey at PARC on Sunday at 3:30pm. We have an action-packed afternoon planned, with free children’s activities, sausage sizzle, DJ, health and fitness demonstrations and so much more!

When: Sunday 11 February
Time: 2:30pm – 4:30pm
Where: PARC

Changed traffic/parking conditions

Due to this special event, there will be limited parking available in our main carpark between 6am – 6pm on Sunday 11 February. To help alleviate pressures of finding a car park, Chisholm Institute have kindly allocated car parking space for PARC members on this day. Please refer to the orange zones on the below map for alternative parking:
For those attending group exercise classes and swim lessons, please make sure you plan ahead and leave a little earlier to ensure you can find a park. Due to this disruption we will be opening our group entrance on the carpark side of the building for all members. Simply present your member band to the staff upon entry. We hope to see you here and want to thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
