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.

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 can’t wait to see you!

Our sister Centre, PINES, are extending their opening hours! 🥳

PINES' opening hours will be extended for the months of January and February 2026.

The updated hours for January and February are:
– Monday – Friday, 6am – 8pm 
– Weekends and public holidays, 8am – 7pm 

By extending the our opening hours into the evening, we are able to provide more access to the public so you can get your laps in, or just enjoy a dip in the pool later in the summer evening.

Can't wait to see you all there!
Move more in 2026 with 30-20-2 💙

Life is busy, and finding time to exercise can feel overwhelming. Being active isn’t about pushing yourself to the limit — it’s about moving consistently and finding a balance that works for you. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Introducing 30-20-2, our simple movement guide based on the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines, designed to make movement achievable and part of everyday life.

Here’s what it means. 

Adults in Australia should aim for: 

30 mins moderate activity daily 🚶‍♂️🏊‍♂️
Moderate activity means you’re moving, breathing comfortably, and able to speak in full sentences. Think swimming, a brisk walk, or joining a PARC class. 

OR 

20 mins vigorous activity daily 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♂️
Vigorous activity gets your heart pumping—you’re breathing hard and speaking in short bursts. Try a cycle class, HIIT session, or a gym workout. 

AND 

2 strength sessions per week 💪🏋‍♂️
Build strength with resistance training. Try lifting weights the gym, or a Reformer Pilates class. 

Throughout 2026, we’ll support you with the right mix of classes, programs, and expert guidance to help you move more, your way.

Come and talk to our friendly team about becoming a member today.

It’s been a big year behind the scenes at PARC 👏

Working alongside Frankston City Council, our Asset & Facilities team delivered major upgrades across the Centre — all focused on creating the best possible experience for our members and community. While much of this work happens quietly, its impact is felt every day.

That commitment was recognised in June, when PARC was named Facility of the Year (Large) at the Aquatics & Recreation Victoria Excellence Awards 🏆

📊 The numbers behind the work:
• 1,238 planned and reactive maintenance and upgrade projects
• 2,145 contractors supported on site

🚧 Tiling Upgrade Project 
💧 New Boiler Installation 
🛝 Water Slide & Tower Refurbishment Project 
🏗️ Upgrades to heating and cooling through the Centre (HVAC Project) 
🛟 Instillation of Lynxight 
🧘‍♀️ Reformer Pilates Studio 

From the whole team at PARC, we would like to extend a massive thank you to you, our fantastic members and patrons, for your ongoing patience and support throughout these upgrades. We hope that you enjoy the improvements made and look forward to another year together at PARC!
