PARC opens at 6pm!

We are beyond excited to welcome you back from 6pm tomorrow. That’s right, PARC will reopen our doors again to fully vaccinated patrons and staff from 6pm Friday 29 October!

 The density quotient of 1 person per 4sqm means all our usual programs and services can recommence, and we can get back to doing what we love – activating and engaging our amazing community.  

 Centre Access 

To keep the community safe, we have strict Conditions of Entry, including sighting evidence of full vaccination prior to entry, QR Code Check Ins, and mask wearing indoors. 

View our Covid safe information HERE.    

Reminders about our reopen 

  • Group Exercise Timetable: Resumes from Saturday 30 October. There will be limited classes over the Cup Weekend, with an updated timetable resuming Wednesday 3 November. Bookings open Friday 29 October at midday.  
  • Density quotient: We must operate with a density quotient of 1 person per 4sqm, this means our Spa, Sauna, Steam Room and Cycle Room will have lower capacity.  
  • Pools still warming up: Due to hitting the vaccination milestone earlier than expected, our pool is still coming up to ideal temperature, and may be 1-2degrees less than expected when we open our doors. Bear with us – we are heating our hearts out!  
  • Waterslides and birthday parties are not available as part of our initial reopen.  

All memberships will be reactivated 

For the period of our closure, all memberships were placed on hold and you were not charged. We are reactivating all Full Access (Complete) and Aquatic Access memberships from reopen, with our first direct debit to run on Monday 1 November. PARC Swim will be reactivated on Monday 8 November. If you are not yet ready to return, please suspend your membership here: Suspend My Membership

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORT 

We are nearly there team! We are so excited to get back to Centre, and we’re so grateful for the going support we have received through this lockdown and closure period – thank you, it means so much to the entire team here at PARC.  

We can’t wait to see you!

Have you heard of Incidental Exercise? 🧹🚶‍♀️

Incidental exercise is physical activity that occurs naturally as part of your daily routine! It’s the small bursts of activity you accumulate throughout the day, such as carrying in the groceries, or playing with the kids, that helps you achieve your 30-20-2.

Some examples of Incidental Exercise are:
– Doing housework like vacuuming, mopping, or gardening
– Walking up stairs instead of taking elevator or escalator
– Parking further away from your destination to get your steps up
– Walking during lunch breaks, or having a standing meeting

Remember, all movement counts! 🌟

For more information about 30-20-2, or helpful resources and workouts to get you moving, head to our Digital Hub.

Help us ensure PARC is a safe venue for the whole community to enjoy 🏊

At PARC, we participate in the statewide Watch Around Water program. Watch Around Water is an education and public awareness-raising program that defines the minimum supervision requirements for children in a pool setting.

When visiting PARC, your child will be given a coloured wristband, based on their age. These wristbands help our lifeguards identify the level of supervison required for your child, and support a safe aquatic environment for everyone.

Learn more about the Watch Around Water program, via the link in our bio.
