PARC: Your PLACE for 10 years and counting

Did you know that this September marks 10 years since we first opened our doors here at PARC? 

For the past decade, PARC has been dedicated to creating YOUR PLACE to be happy, active, and connected. For members, PARC is your happy place, your active place, or just your place to focus on you and have some “me time”. 

As we celebrate 10 years of being part of the community, we’d love our PARC Fam to tell us what PARC means to you? How has this place made a difference in your life?   

Whether it’s the joy of hitting a new personal best, the comfort of familiar faces, the steps towards recovery, the joy of a first swimming lesson, or simply the sense of belonging you feel when you walk through our doors — we want to know! 

  

Why is PARC your PLACE? 

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

Thank you, 

Your PARC team.

We will be lighting up for Mito this Saturday 💚

You may notice this Saturday a few of Frankston’s iconic landmarks will be lit up green this Saturday. This is to support the global Light Up for Mito initiative, for World Mito Week. 

Landmarks worldwide are glowing green to raise awareness of Mitochondrial disease, a little-known, life-limiting genetic disorder. 

You can learn more about the condition at @mitofoundation
