Updated: Friday 11 April 2025. This post will be updated regularly as we roll through the upgrades across the Centre.
Keeping PARC in top condition
At PARC, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards for our members and guests.
Specialised facilities, like PARC, require regular upgrades to ensure the life of the building remains fit-for-purpose and safe for the community. Now 10 years old, the building has seen incredible usage and we are now embarking on an important tile replacement project across all changerooms, and some pool areas, from March to July 2025.
What work is being done?
To maintain safety, aesthetics and provide overall improvement across PARC, we will be removing and replacing the existing tiles with high-quality, durable alternatives in all changerooms, and the 50m pool bulk heads. Some space will see a full replacement, others we are replacing grouting. These upgrades will enhance the look and feel of our changerooms while ensuring they remain safe and slip resistant.
When is the scheduled maintenance period?
The works will be conducted in stages from March to July 2025, with planning for minimal disruption to our members and guests.
Current Closure:
Main 50m Poo Hall Closure, Monday 30 June – Sunday 27 July
We will be undertaking significant tiling and improvement works in the Main 50m Pool. This means that the Main 50m Pool will be closed from Monday 30 June – Sunday 27 July (4 week closure period).
What services are impacted?
• CLOSED: Over the period, only the 50m pool will be closed.
• IMPACTED: Cafe closing at 4pm. For the period of the pool closure the Cafe will be closing at 4pm. If you normally grab a post workout or lesson snack, please make other arrangements.
• OPEN: All other aquatic facilities will remain open, including the Learn to Swim Pool, Warm Water Pool Hall, Waterslides and Aquatic Playground. Importantly, this means that PARC Swim lessons in the 50m pool will not run.

What does this mean for me?
- Downstairs female Changerooms: will be closed from Tuesday 10 June to Saturday 5 July. To accommodate our female patrons, over this period, the upstairs male changerooms will be temporarily designated as a female changeroom.
- Future closures: There will be further closures and impacts running through to July. Please check back here regularly.

We understand these temporary, but essential, closures may at times be inconvenient, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your experience.
