Join us in the World’s Greatest Shave

We are taking part in the World’s Greatest Shave and would like you to join us!

Friday 17 March, 10am – 12pm. 

Each March, more than 20,000 extraordinary Aussies help beat blood cancer by getting sponsored to shave or colour their hair during the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. You may not know it but blood cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death in Australia, claiming more lives than breast cancer or melanoma. And every day another 35 people will be diagnosed.

Those taking part in World’s Greatest Shave make a difference by giving families facing blood cancer the emotional and practical support they need. They also help fund vital research that will mean more people survive blood cancer, while improving their quality of life.

Join us for a morning of entertainment and help yourself to our morning tea and/or participate in our shaving and/or waxing activities. Be brave and get waxed for only $10 or shave for a $20 donation. Morning tea will also be available (minimum $5 donation applies).

When: Friday 17 March, 10am – 12pm

Where: Cafe PARC

Click here to donate or to sign up and join Team PARC. No matter how much you give, it’s an extraordinary way to make a difference.

We look forward to seeing you there.

We're excited to share some splash-tastic news with our community! 🥳🤩

We will be extending our sister site, PINES' 2025/2026 summer season until Sunday 19 April! Typically, our beloved outdoor PINES pool operates from November 1 to March 31. This year, after what has been another record breaking season, we're delighted to keep the gates open for the April School Holiday period. 

PINES regular opening hours will remain in place, except for Good Friday when we'll be closed, and there will be adjusted public holiday hours for the Easter long weekend. 

A big thank you goes out to our incredible community for another wonderful season. We can’t wait to see you all enjoying yourselves by the pool in April.
