More splash time! PINES season extended until Sunday 19 April

We’re excited to share some splash-tastic news with our Pines community…  We will be extending the 2025/2026 summer season until Sunday 19 April! 

Typically, our beloved outdoor PINES pool operates from November 1 to March 31. This year, after what has been another record breaking season, we’re delighted to keep the gates open for the April School Holiday period. 

A big thank you to Frankston City Council for their support in making this extension possible, keeping our community active and splashing into April.

Our regular opening hours will remain in place, except for Good Friday when we’ll be closed, and there will be adjusted public holiday hours for the Easter long weekend. 

Pines Centre leader Chiara McAuley is thrilled to be welcoming our PINES community into April. “We are super excited to be extending the PINES season, allowing greater access to our wonderful PINES community. We are looking forward to seeing everyone making the most of this much loved pool across the Easter school holidays.” 

A big thank you goes out to our incredible PINES community for another wonderful season. We can’t wait to see you all enjoying yourselves by the pool in April.

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.
