Our Places

Visit our award-winning places

We want our community to ‘go places’ on their health and wellbeing journey, and we offer the best facilities and digital access to support.

At Peninsula Leisure we manage Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC), Pines Forest Aquatic Centre (PINES), Frankston Skate Park (SKATE) and our online platform PARC Plus

Our award-winning facilities are open, inclusive, and safe environments designed for optimal accessibility. We offer activities and experiences designed for every person, regardless of age, background, or ability level.

PARC

Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC)

PARC is Frankston’s all in one big box gym, health club and pool centre. Opened in 2014 thanks to the vision of Frankston City Council and the support of Federal and State governments, this award-winning facility aims to empower the community to be happy and healthy.

At PARC you’ll find three pool areas, an aquatic playground and waterslides, a state-of-the-art gym, and group exercise studios all with well-established accessibility features, alongside a Café and Childcare.

We welcome thousands of visitors to the facility each year, and PARC has become a well-loved icon within the local community.

Our success has been recognised by Aquatics Recreation Victoria (ARV) several times, most recently receiving the ‘Facility Management of the Year – Large’ Award in 2022. This was due to our ability to reimagine our recovery following the COVID pandemic of 2020 and 2021.

PINES

 

Pines Forest Aquatic Centre (PINES)

PINES is the hidden gem of Frankston, at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula. PINES is an outdoor seasonal facility featuring a heated 50m pool, a toddler pool and a waterslide. The pool has a passionate community of visitors who have used the pool over many generations, and has the added bonus that all PARC members get access to PINES for free.

This seasonal facility opens from November to March each year and attracts over 40,000 visitors each season.

In 2022, PINES received the coveted Aquatics Recreation Victoria (ARV) ‘Facility Management of the Year – Seasonal’ award, due to our ability to deliver exceptional service despite the ongoing impacts of the COVID pandemic.
