More splash time! PINES season extended until Sunday 19 April

We’re excited to share some splash-tastic news with our Pines community…  We will be extending the 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. 

A big thank you to Frankston City Council for their support in making this extension possible, keeping our community active and splashing into April.

Our 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. 

Pines Centre leader Chiara McAuley is thrilled to be welcoming our PINES community into April. “We are super excited to be extending the PINES season, allowing greater access to our wonderful PINES community. We are looking forward to seeing everyone making the most of this much loved pool across the Easter school holidays.” 

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

Achieving your 30-20-2 is easier than you think! 🏋️

Our formula is designed so that you can be active anywhere, anytime. We know it can be more difficult to get your movement in when the weather is cooler, so we wanted to share some simple exercises that you can do at home, without any equipment needed. 

30-20-2 is all about movement in ways that work for you, so remember:
✅ Moving doesn't need to be overwhelming. You can break up your exercise into smaller bite size pieces, such as taking ten minutes three times a day to get your movement in. 
✅ Everybody's fitness level and ability is different, so doing altered movements does not have any less of a positive impact. 
✅ Prioritising your health and wellbeing goals doesn’t just improve your fitness, it changes how you feel, think, and connect with the world around you.

Chatting with our winner, Mel! 🏆

In June, we attended the Aquatic Recreation Victoria industry awards, where excitingly our very own Mel was awarded the prestigious Membership Sales Award. 

Mel’s dedication, and commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive for members has earned her the top prize in 2026. In celebration of this incredible achievement, we sat down with Mel for a Q&A session to chat about her win, journey and what working at PARC means to her.
