PARC to reopen Friday 18 June

PARC

June 17, 2021

We are happy to announce that from Friday this week, 18 June, PARC will reopen our doors again!

Saying that, very strict restrictions will be in place so unfortunately, we will not be returning to the post-COVID ‘normal’ right away. Thank you for your patience as we finalised our initial reopen plan.

There is a lot to be considered with the latest restrictions, and we wanted to ensure we had the right services and processes in place and are keeping our community moving safely!

ABOUT OUR INITIAL REOPEN

CAPACITY RESTRICTIONS

The Victorian Acting Premier has announced an easing of COVID Safe restrictions for Metro Melbourne effective Friday 18 June, allowing indoor fitness and recreation facilities, such as PARC, to open with 50 people in the building.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR US AT PARC?

PARC Services – Main Pool, Warm Water Pool and Gym to open:

In-line with the imposed capacity restrictions, we have had to change our operations and services, and slightly adjusted our operating hours.

As a result, for this initial reopen, we will be opening:

The 25metre lap pool for lap swimming only,
The Warm Water Pool, and
The Gym Floor.
Toilets and change rooms are available.
All other services, including Group Exercise, Swimming Programs and Café, remain closed.

We know this may be limiting for many of you, but we are hopeful these latest restrictions will be reviewed again in a week’s time, so as soon as we can open up more services and capacity – we will!

PARC Access – Bookings only:

To ensure we adhere to the strict capacity limits, all lap swimming, warm water pool and gym floor sessions must be booked as a casual entry pay-as-you-go . Unfortunately, memberships will remain on hold for this initial reopen phase, and you will be required to book and pre-pay for each of your swims and gym workouts sessions online.

Bookings for our reopen tomorrow are now available on the website.
Future bookings will be available 3 days in advance.
Bookings will be a flat fee for everyone.
Sessions will run for 50 minutes to allow 10 minutes turnaround between sessions for cleaning time.
You must book online, no walk-ins will be permitted.
For details on how to book, and our pay-as-you-go prices, please visit: https://parcfrankston.com.au/reopen/

PARC Entry – Strict Conditions of Entry:

We will continue to enforce our Conditions of Entry, including mask wearing and QR Code Check Ins.

We’re so grateful for the awesome support of our PARC family through this lockdown and closure period, and really appreciate your understanding of the challenging situation that we are all facing.

We can’t wait to welcome you all back!

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 🌼
