PARC Treasure Island – Summer School Holiday Program January 2024

November 29, 2023

Ahoy matey! Get ready for a summer of swashbuckling fun at PARC!

Gather your pirate crew and explore a far away Treasure Island, right in the heart of Frankston!

Begin your pirate adventure at PARC these school holidays where we have created the ultimate escape for the whole family. Sun too hot outside? No problem, PARC’s got you sorted with an indoor Treasure Island school holiday program, suitable for children of all ages.

What’s in store?

Hunt for buried treasure, zip down the waterslide, explore the multi-story aquatic playground, splash bucket and meet a real-life mermaid!

What’s on the program?

We have a stacked program of fun pool deck activities including:

Face painting
Balloon entertainment
Treasure Scavenger hunt
A special visit from Marianna the Mermaid

Marianna the Mermaid is BACK!

Back by popular demand, Marianna the Mermaid will be making a splash.

One of our favourite sea guests is coming back to PARC! Marianna the Mermaid and her Pirate friend will be mingling with land walkers, taking photos, spreading mermaid glitter and taking lots of photos!

Marianna will be visiting PARC on Friday 5 January and Friday 19 January. There are no tickets to meet her, but please expect a busier than usual centre.

How do I buy tickets?

You do not need to pre-book or buy a ticket to attend PARC Treasure Island. Instead, you must purchase an all-inclusive entry pass at PARC reception. You can view prices here on the casual entry tab.

Unfortunately, there is no inflatable available during this time.

The dates and details

Our school holiday program will run weekdays from Tuesday 2 January to Thursday 25 January between 11am-3pm.

Activities will run on select days, so be sure to check our calendar below for dates and times for all our pool side entertainment.

We will also be hosting VIC Swim Intensives at PARC

Please expect a busier pool hall at times.

Throughout January, we run intensive swimming lessons during the school holiday period. This can mean sections of the pool is being used by teachers and students for lessons.

Lessons will run until 1.30pm during Week 2 of the School Holidays (8-12 Jan) so please plan your trip accordingly.

We look forward to seeing you in Centre!

Yesterday, as a part of National Childhood Educators Day we celebrated the incredible educators at PARC who play a vital role in our community. 👶

Their dedication and passion help create a safe and nurturing environment for our little ones, giving parents the peace of mind to focus on their fitness and health. 💙

Our amazing educators are not just caregivers — they help the kids of our PARC community learn and grow while parents get their much-needed “me time.”

Thank you to our Childcare team for all you do to support our families and make PARC a special place!

Last month, PARC staff member Wayne competed the Shepparton Marathon and finished with a time of 3hrs 30min 38sec! After months of preparation, he powered through a challenging course and crushed it! Finishing first in his age group (70+) by more than 1 hour and 10 minutes to the next racer! 🏃‍

For Wayne, being active is key to his overall health. “Running has always been my way of staying healthy, I see it as the most efficient way of keeping my heart working as best it can”. Working at PARC also helps keep him on his feet, active, moving and social, playing a big role in his fitness and recovery. ❤️

Wayne’s story is a testament to the benefits of exercising at any age. We are so impressed by Wayne’s dedication to his fitness and is a true inspiration to us all! 🥇

Looking to improve your running fitness? Why not join our PARC Fit Run Club, scheduled for Monday and Wednesday evenings at 5:30pm as well as Wednesday morning at 5:45am.

Our Run Club is open to all Full Access members. Book in via Xplor Customer Portal today.

Our new decal is up on the gym wall! 💙

Tell us, why is PARC your PLACE?

Head upstairs to the gym and grab to a card to add to the decal on the wall. We would really love to hear from our PARC community about your place at PARC, now, or over the past decade.
