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)

Aquatic Playground Closure 🛠 
 
The Aquatic playground will be closed for planned maintenance from Tuesday 17 June to Tuesday 24 June. 
 
This maintenance requires the playground to be dry in order to be repaired. The Learn to Swim, Toddler pool and Waterslides are still available for your enjoyment. 
 
We hope to reopen the Aquatic Playground in full on 24 June. 
 
We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
