Come along and cheer on local legends as they carry the Queen’s Baton through Frankston City, towards its final destination, the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) Opening Ceremony on 4 April 2018. The Queen’s Baton carries a message from Her Majesty The Queen through the entire Commonwealth. The Games are declared officially open when the message is read aloud.

The Waterfront Festival will remain in the same format as previous years, with some additional programming elements added in to accommodate the Relay, possibly even a visit from Borobi the unstoppable Koala which is the 2018 Commonwealth Games mascot.

Important Centre Update: Main Pool Hall Closure
Thursday 31 July, back open on Monday 18 August

Please be advised that the entire Main Pool Hall will be closed from Thursday 31 July to Monday 18 August to allow for essential, unplanned boiler replacement works. During this period, there will also be no hot water to the showers Centre-wide.

One of the most important systems in our facility is the boiler system, which heats our pools and showers. Unfortunately, we recently experienced an unexpected fault that impacted heating water. As a result, we’re fast-tracking a major replacement to this critical system to restore full comfort and ensure long-term reliability. To safely complete these works, the entire Main Pool Hall will be closed from Thursday 31 July to Monday 18 August.

The Warm Water Pool and Spa remain operating as normal.

Please visit our website to learn more about these works and impacted services during this time: https://parc.peninsulaleisure.com.au/alerts/important-centre-update-main-50m-pool-closure-30-june-27-july/

If you would like to suspend your membership for the closure period, you can do so via our website: https://bit.ly/4b35AsV Suspensions used will not go towards members’ allowable suspensions days.

Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we carry out this important replacement. We look forward to welcoming you back to a warmer PARC Main Pool Hall from Monday 18 August.

🏊 50m Pool reopening Monday 28 July. Water temperature is cooler than usual 🏊

Woo hoo, we`re back! 👏👏👏

We’re excited to confirm that our 50m pool will reopen, as planned, tomorrow Monday 28 July from open at 5.00am!

A huge thank you for your patience and support over the past four weeks while we completed essential tile replacement works. The upgrades are now finished and the pool is looking fantastic. The space is now even safer and more enjoyable for all our swimmers.

However, due to an unexpected and unrelated issue with our boiler system, the water temperature will be a little cooler than usual for the first few days. While it’s perfectly safe to swim, it may not suit everyone.

Here’s what you need to know:
💦 The pool is open for lap swimming and recreational use from tomorrow morning, Monday 28 July
💦 The water will feel a few degrees cooler than usual (wet suits optional 😉)
💦 Programming in the 50m pool is on hold for now, including: PARC Swim lessons (those scheduled in the 50m on Mon 28 & Tues 29 July) and Aqua Group Exercise classes (remaining in the Warm Water Pool).

We’re working hard to return temperatures to usual, and hope to resume programming on Wednesday 30 July.

For all the details, please check out our blog here: https://parc.peninsulaleisure.com.au/alerts/important-centre-update-main-50m-pool-closure-30-june-27-july/

Thanks again for your support and understanding over the past month. We are so excited and can’t wait to see you back in the pool (even if it is a bit cool!)

A splash of yellow for a great cause 🌼☀️

You may have noticed some of our members wearing yellow around the centre these past few weeks!

A group of Active Movers have committed to taking a Daffodil Day Cold plunge, in an effort to raise awareness for cancer research. These amazing people, who all met through PARC, are committed to supporting each other through the Highs and the Lows. We love our amazing PARC community 🌼

For more information about their cold plunge, please see the link in bio
