PARC introduces Active Women’s Month!

During March, PARC will be celebrating, supporting and inspiring women to be active! Whatever your situation or ability level we want you to fall in love with exercise and make your health and fitness a priority. 

We want to empower our female members and the broader community to challenge themselves and put their health first. So, we’re hosting a range of seminars to educate and motivate on a range of health and fitness topics: 

 

  • Thursday 11th March, 6.30pm: Women’s Nutrition and challenging your mindset around health & wellbeing 

Join Mel and Mary in an activity based seminar where you can set yourself goals and challenges around nutrition and health and leave with a plan of attack and tips & tricks to succeed!

 

Kim and Erin from the Women’s Spirit Project, which aims to inspire and empower women experiencing disadvantage to transform their lives through fitness, health and wellbeing activities, will join us to talk about the organisation and its inspiring work. 

This promises to be a thought-provoking event where you can learn about this organisation and find out more about the upcoming Frank to Schank Challenge Event Fundraiser in April.

 

  • Thursday 25th March, 6.30pm: Brodie Harper on her active journey in conjunction with This Girl Can week!

We’re supporting the Victorian Government, This Girl Can initiative encouraging more women to give activity a go or return to exercise after a break. Local celebrity and TV host, Brodie Harper, will be joining us to talk about how she got back into exercise after a break.

 

BOOK NOW FOR FREE through the MyPARC app or via our Group Exercise timetable on the website and they’re open to everyone, PARC members and non-members. 

 

It’s International Women’s Day on Monday 8th March and this year the focus is #choosetochallenge so why not think about how you can challenge yourself this month and start a new routine that enables you to get more active? 

We’re also supporting the Victorian Government initiative, This Girl Can Week, that aims to provide opportunities for women to give physical activity a try. From Monday 22nd to Friday 26th March we will be showcasing our beginner classes within our timetable.

PARC loves a challenge and our team is always here to support you every step of the way. We want to celebrate your successes and inspire you to be your best, so get on board and get active this March!

Move more in 2026 with 30-20-2 💙

Life is busy, and finding time to exercise can feel overwhelming. Being active isn’t about pushing yourself to the limit — it’s about moving consistently and finding a balance that works for you. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Introducing 30-20-2, our simple movement guide based on the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines, designed to make movement achievable and part of everyday life.

Here’s what it means. 

Adults in Australia should aim for: 

30 mins moderate activity daily 🚶‍♂️🏊‍♂️
Moderate activity means you’re moving, breathing comfortably, and able to speak in full sentences. Think swimming, a brisk walk, or joining a PARC class. 

OR 

20 mins vigorous activity daily 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♂️
Vigorous activity gets your heart pumping—you’re breathing hard and speaking in short bursts. Try a cycle class, HIIT session, or a gym workout. 

AND 

2 strength sessions per week 💪🏋‍♂️
Build strength with resistance training. Try lifting weights the gym, or a Reformer Pilates class. 

Throughout 2026, we’ll support you with the right mix of classes, programs, and expert guidance to help you move more, your way.

Come and talk to our friendly team about becoming a member today.

It’s been a big year behind the scenes at PARC 👏

Working alongside Frankston City Council, our Asset & Facilities team delivered major upgrades across the Centre — all focused on creating the best possible experience for our members and community. While much of this work happens quietly, its impact is felt every day.

That commitment was recognised in June, when PARC was named Facility of the Year (Large) at the Aquatics & Recreation Victoria Excellence Awards 🏆

📊 The numbers behind the work:
• 1,238 planned and reactive maintenance and upgrade projects
• 2,145 contractors supported on site

🚧 Tiling Upgrade Project 
💧 New Boiler Installation 
🛝 Water Slide & Tower Refurbishment Project 
🏗️ Upgrades to heating and cooling through the Centre (HVAC Project) 
🛟 Instillation of Lynxight 
🧘‍♀️ Reformer Pilates Studio 

From the whole team at PARC, we would like to extend a massive thank you to you, our fantastic members and patrons, for your ongoing patience and support throughout these upgrades. We hope that you enjoy the improvements made and look forward to another year together at PARC!
