WE’RE BACK OPEN FROM FRIDAY!

We are SO happy to announce that from 6pm this Friday, 29 October, PARC will reopen our doors again! 🤸‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🏊‍♂️🎉

The Victorian Premier has announced an easing of COVID restrictions effective 6pm Friday 29 October, allowing indoor fitness and recreation facilities, such as PARC, to open with some restrictions: 

  • Open to fully vaccinated staff and patrons (16+ years, or valid medical exemption),  
  • Density quotient of 1 person per 4sqm, and 
  • Masks still indoors. 

This is amazing news, as with no capacity limits and the density quotient level allows us to get back to (pretty much) NORMAL OPERATIONS! 👏 

🌟 Lap swimming and recreational swimming is back, along with the Aquatic Playground.
🌟The Warm Water Pool Area is open, along with the Sauna, Spa and Steam Room with capacity limits.
🌟 Swimming lessons are back from Monday 8 November, allowing a 6-week program in the lead up to Christmas. 
🌟 Gym is open and all equipment is available for use. 
🌟 Group Exercise Timetable resumes from Saturday 30 October (limited classes over Cup Weekend, with a new update timetable resuming Wednesday 3 November). Bookings open Friday 29 October at midday. 
🌟 Memberships are reactivated.
🌟 Café is back for your delicious morning coffee and nutrition hit.
🌟 Creche is back open from Monday 1 November. 
🌟 No more bookings required at Pines outdoor pool, and free entry for PARC members! 

 PARC ENTRY CONDITIONS 

 We will enforce strict Conditions of Entry, including sighting evidence of full vaccination prior to entry, QR Code Check Ins, and mask wearing indoors.  

ALL MEMBERSHIPS WILL BE REACTIVATED 

For the period of our closure, all memberships were placed on hold. We are reactivating all Full Access and Aquatic Access memberships from Monday 1 November. PARC Swim will be reactivated on Monday 8 November. If you are not ready to return, please suspend your membership here: LINK (please do so by 5pm Thursday, to avoid being charged)  

More details coming via email in the next days.  

We can’t wait to welcome you all back from 6pm on Friday. See you in Centre soon!

Move more in 2026 with 30-20-2 💙

Life is busy, and finding time to exercise can feel overwhelming. Being active isn’t about pushing yourself to the limit — it’s about moving consistently and finding a balance that works for you. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Introducing 30-20-2, our simple movement guide based on the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines, designed to make movement achievable and part of everyday life.

Here’s what it means.

Adults in Australia should aim for:

30 mins moderate activity daily 🚶‍♂️🏊‍♂️
Moderate activity means you’re moving, breathing comfortably, and able to speak in full sentences. Think swimming, a brisk walk, or joining a PARC class.

OR

20 mins vigorous activity daily 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♂️
Vigorous activity gets your heart pumping—you’re breathing hard and speaking in short bursts. Try a cycle class, HIIT session, or a gym workout.

AND

2 strength sessions per week 💪🏋‍♂️
Build strength with resistance training. Try lifting weights the gym, or a Reformer Pilates class.

Throughout 2026, we’ll support you with the right mix of classes, programs, and expert guidance to help you move more, your way.

Come and talk to our friendly team about becoming a member today.
