Over 300 members have been with PARC since the very beginning, and 30 staff have also been with the group for the decade.  

Throughout the day, visitors can participate in a variety of activities. Health and fitness enthusiasts can enjoy taster group exercise classes, meet PARC’s much-loved mascot Hydro and Centre tours will be running regularly.  

Visitors can also a enjoy a Café birthday box for $5, or a sausage from the Can Swim BBQ, with proceeds going to the Can Swim fund, supporting free swimming programs for our community.

Join us at PARC for a day of celebration, reflection, and excitement as we look forward to the next decade of activating and engaging the Frankston community.”
