Welcome to Nature PARC!

Kids can explore nature in a different way these school holidays – indoors!

PARC will be hosting ‘Nature PARC’ during the autumn school holidays, with nature-themed activities for kids each day. Kids can experiment with water-based science activities, make gum-nut bracelets, pet rocks, leaf rubbings and even make and race their own twig rafts.

Entry to PARC includes access to all Nature PARC activities, plus Splashtown only available during holidays. Entry also includes access to the 114m Constrictor raft waterslide, the Python family raft waterslide, the award winning AquaPlay aquatic playground and main pool.

The PARC Holiday Program will run 11am–3pm weekdays from Monday 8 to Thursday 18 April 2019. Waterslides are open 10am–6pm and the aquatic playground is open 9am–7pm.

Bookings are recommended for the Splashtown obstacle course, click here to see full activity schedule.

A PARC day pass for the whole family starts at $25.90. Individual passes start at $7.20 for children, $9 for adults and $7.20 for concession.

Have you heard of Habit Stacking? 🤔

It's a great way to add movement into your day by pairing small exercises with habits you already do - helping you be active and achieve 30-20-2, even when life is busy!

You can incorporate simple exercises into your daily task, such as:
- Squats while the kettle boils - turn waiting time into movement time.
- Calf raises while brushing your teeth - two minutes of strength, twice a day.
- Lunges down the hallway - every trip becomes a mini workout.
- Marching on the spot while folding laundry- complete some of your vigorous or moderate exercise every trip.
- Glute squeezes while sitting at your desk - perfect for busy workdays.

Remember, all movement counts 🙌
