Come and try PARC 

This open day is free for members and non-members. If you want to have a guided tour around the Facility, we will be running these every 15 minutes between 9.00am and 12.00pm. One of our friendly, experienced Sales Consultants will show you the facilities we have on offer at PARC. The tour covers aquatic areas, Health Club, group exercise studios and Creche – whichever areas you are interested in!   

The details: Our open day is Saturday 1 October between 8am – 1pm, with FREE entry to the Centre. Non-member visitors details will be captured on entry, and if you are using the Gym for the first time, you will need to complete a quick paper-bases health assessment to ensure we can provide you with the support you need.  

Thank you 

Our Facility of the Year win would not have been possible without YOU, our amazing Peninsula Leisure and PARC community, and we want you to say THANK YOU with a fun, free open day – we really hope you can make it.  

We can’t wait to see you there!
