Updated: Thursday 13 February 2025. This post will be updated regularly as we roll through the upgrades across the Centre.
Keeping PARC in top condition
At PARC, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards for our members and guests.
Specialised facilities, like PARC, require regular upgrades to ensure the life of the building remains fit-for-purpose and safe for the community. Now 10 years old, the building has seen incredible usage and we are now embarking on an important tile replacement project across all changerooms, and some pool areas, from March to July 2025.
What work is being done?
To maintain safety, aesthetics and provide overall improvement across PARC, we will be removing and replacing the existing tiles with high-quality, durable alternatives in all changerooms, and the 50m pool bulk heads. Some space will see a full replacement, others we are replacing grouting. These upgrades will enhance the look and feel of our changerooms while ensuring they remain safe and slip resistant.
When is the scheduled maintenance period?
The works will be conducted in stages from March to July 2025, with planning for minimal disruption to our members and guests.
The first phase will begin upstairs, with the following impacts:
Closures
- Upstairs Accessible Changeroom – closed 11 March – 25 March
- Upstairs Male Changeroom – closed 17 March – 1 April
- Upstairs female Changeroom – closed 31 March – 15 April
- Future closures: There will be further closures and impacts running through to July. Check back here regularly.
What does this mean for me?
- Male Upstairs Change Rooms: will be closed from Monday 17 March until Tuesday 1 April. During this period, male members will be directed to the aquatic male change rooms downstairs. These will remain fully operational for use during this time.
- Female Upstairs Change Rooms: will be closed from Monday 31 March until Tuesday 15 April. During this period, female members will be directed to the main female change rooms downstairs. These will remain fully operational for use.
- Other changerooms and tiled areas (including the main 50m pool bulkheads): Further updates on additional changeroom closures will be provided as the works progress. Please continue to check back here as this blog will be updated every 2 weeks with closure and impact updates.
Thanks for your patience
We understand these temporary, but essential, closures may at times be inconvenient, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your experience.
