The Countdown is on to the 2022/2023 PINES Summer Season!

We are so excited to be opening the gates again at our gorgeous Pines Forest Aquatic Centre.

Our Pines crew are working hard in preparation for the upcoming season, making sure the pool and all facilities are in tip top shape for open on Tuesday 1 November.

Meet Ian, your new PINES Centre Leader

We are very happy to introduce Ian Carroll, who will be taking on the role of Pines Leader this season. If his face is familiar, that’s because Ian volunteered a lot of his time last season to help with our popular Free Family Friday events. Ian has also been a part of the Peninsula Leisure team for 3 years, and you may have seen him around our sister site PARC, as he looked after all things Asset and Facility.

Ian is looking forward to another big season at Pines and getting to know our incredible community of lap swimmers, families and schools over the coming months.

“I am really excited about this opportunity to engage with such a wonderful community. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and hearing everyone’s Pines stories as we all enjoy this incredible facility over the warmer months.”

We can’t wait to see you at Pines!

We’re counting down the days until we open the gates and welcome our amazing Pines family once again to our award winning pool.

A feel good Friday post for you... Nic kicks two goals, in one! 🏉

Nicole, one of our long term PARC Team members, achieved a life-long dream last weekend. 

Nic has always wanted to play football, and last week, she not only achieved that dream, but kicked her first goal at her very first game! What made it even more special was who she shared it with. Her daughter Bella was her teammate on the field (you might recognise Bella from the PARC Cafe!), her son Billy was the proud goal umpire🌟

Nic is an amazing part of Team PARC, and an example that shows it doesn’t matter how old you are to start something new. If you have a dream or goal that you want to achieve, go for it, we are here to support you! Congrats Nic! 🩵
