Diving In for local health – A splash of support for Peninsula Health

Father’s Day at PARC was extra special this year – not just because of all the fun and family bonding, but also because we had the chance to give back to an important cause right here in our community!

We’re excited to announce that, thanks to everyone who enjoyed a splash at PARC on Father’s Day, we were able to donate $1,051 to Peninsula Health. That’s 20% of our casual pool entry fees from Sunday, 1st September 2024, are going straight toward helping support local prostate cancer services through Peninsula Health.

This donation will help Peninsula Health in acquiring essential equipment for the early detection of prostate cancer, giving our local dads (and all men!) the best possible chance at early diagnosis and better health outcomes.

It’s partnerships like these that really show what we can achieve when we come together as a community. We’re so proud to be able to contribute and work alongside Peninsula Health to make a difference in people’s lives.

Thank you to everyone who visited us on Father’s Day – your swim made a splash in more ways than one!

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to support local initiatives that benefit the Frankston community.

Upcoming HVAC improvement works 🚧👷 

We are undertaking two important HVAC improvement projects at PARC from Monday 5 October to Friday 16 October. 

Rust Air Duct Rectification Works 
We'll be replacing sections of our air ducting that supplies fresh air to our Group Exercise studios. A section of the corridor near the studios will be temporarily closed, with some lockers unavailable while works are underway. Access to Studio 2 and all Group Exercise classes will remain available as normal, with no classes impacted. 

Warm Water Pool Accessible Changeroom Ventilation Upgrade 
The accessible changerooms in Warm Water Pool area will be temporarily closed from Monday 5 – Friday 16 October as we install additional fresh air supply systems to both. Alternative accessible change facilities are available in the Family Change area as well as upstairs, which is accessible via the elevator. Our team will be on hand to assist members who require support. 

Thank you for your patience and support as we invest in your PARC experience.
Don't miss out on the fun before it's gone! 🐬

Tomorrow is the last day of our school holiday program, so make sure you secure your spot on Splash Island, and come on down for a day of family fun! 🤩
