Go for gold these school holidays!

On your marks, get set, go!! Who wants to join PARC Games? As we gear up for the Commonwealth Games in July, PARC is the place to be these winter school holidays!

Join Hydro’s Commonwealth Games team and become a PARC Champion while enjoying our fun activities which include:

– Our award winning Aquatic Playground

– Face painting and balloon entertainment (check Centre calendar for days!)

– The green Constrictor waterslide 11am – 3pm daily

– PARC Games baton relay Scavenger Hunt

-Prizes and giveaways

Our waterslides will run from 11am-3pm on weekdays these school holidays, and all activities are included in the entry free.

Unfortunately, our Splashtown obstacle course isn’t on the PARC Games circuit this round, as we work to rest and recover our team over the winter months. You will notice our waterslide hours are also 11am – 3pm over the holidays, in order to rebuild our team of Lifeguards who have been impacted by staff shortages and COVID isolations.

So, grab your team colours and make your way to warm PARC these holidays for some Commonwealth Games themed fun!!

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.

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!
