Mayor’s Family Picnic

Green thumbs and lawn games at Mayor’s Family Picnic

PARC is hosting free activities for children and families at the Mayor’s Family Picnic this September.

A free kids pot planting area will nurture young green thumbs, while free lawn games promise to get the whole family active and laughing the afternoon away.

“The Mayor’s Family Picnic is a great event to bring the community together and celebrate the start of spring,” said Peninsula Leisure CEO Tim Gledhill.

“A big part of PARC’s work is making sure everyone has the opportunity to get active, and we are committed to transforming the way the Frankston community thinks about health and wellbeing,” said Tim. “Putting on these activities is a fun, relaxed way to get people outside, moving and connecting with their community. We look forward to seeing lots of children and adults enjoying the day.”

The Mayor’s Family Picnic is a free event organised by Frankston City Council. Live entertainment, community barbeques and other free games and activities will be available.

The Mayor’s Family Picnic is on Sunday 8 September 2019, 11am–2pm at Banyan Reserve, Luscombe Avenue, Carrum Downs.

Have you heard of Incidental Exercise? 🧹🚶‍♀️

Incidental exercise is physical activity that occurs naturally as part of your daily routine! It’s the small bursts of activity you accumulate throughout the day, such as carrying in the groceries, or playing with the kids, that helps you achieve your 30-20-2. 

Some examples of Incidental Exercise are: 
- Doing housework like vacuuming, mopping, or gardening
- Walking up stairs instead of taking elevator or escalator 
- Parking further away from your destination to get your steps up
- Walking during lunch breaks, or having a standing meeting

Remember, all movement counts! 🌟

For more information about 30-20-2, or helpful resources and workouts to get you moving, head to our Digital Hub.
How cute it this?! 🦄

Our Cafe team always know how to add a little magic into your day! ✨

Help us ensure PARC is a safe venue for the whole community to enjoy 🏊

At PARC, we participate in the statewide Watch Around Water program. Watch Around Water is an education and public awareness-raising program that defines the minimum supervision requirements for children in a pool setting. 

When visiting PARC, your child will be given a coloured wristband, based on their age. These wristbands help our lifeguards identify the level of supervison required for your child, and support a safe aquatic environment for everyone. 

Learn more about the Watch Around Water program, via the link in our bio.
Did you know that our vision is that 'Every Child In Frankston Can Swim'? 🌳👶

The Rotary Peninsula 2.0's Birth Tree is one way that's helping us to achieve this vision. 

By joining this year’s Birth Tree, you will receive a timeless tribute of your loved one in the form of a tree and plaque. Equally importantly, $45 of every contribution goes straight back to the community to help more children build confidence in the water, with free infant swimming lessons through the Can Swim initiative. 🏊

You can purchase a place for a baby born this year on the Birth Tree here: https://events.humanitix.com/parc-2026-birth-tree-and-family-garden
