The state’s best seasonal outdoor pool scheduled to open for summer

The warm weather is upon us, and things are heating up in Frankston North with the PINES Forest Aquatic Centre opening for the 2023/2024 summer season on Wednesday 1 November.  

Pines outdoor pool is a much-loved feature of the Frankston North community overs summer, who have been waiting eagerly to get back in the water while the facility has been closed.  

Pines Forest Aquatic Centre was recently awarded Facility of the Year (Seasonal) at the Aquatics and Recreation Victoria (ARV) Awards. These awards recognise outstanding commitment to the Aquatics and Recreation sector, and celebrate Pines’s leading aquatic spaces, and importantly, their welcoming community.  

Peninsula Leisure CEO Kath Thom said staff have been working hard over the winter months to prepare the pools for a busy summer. 

“All the pools are looking great for another big outdoor pool season,” Ms Thom said.

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.
