THE 50 metre pool at Frankston’s flagship aquatic facility is set to close for a month. Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre’s 50 metre pool will close on Monday, 30 June. It is not expected to reopen until Sunday, 27 July.
In a statement, PARC said “the primary focus of this work will be replacing the tiles on the bulk heads at each end of the 50 metre pool. This will include the re-earthing of the 50 metre pool fixtures. We are also using this closure to upgrade our balance tank support structure. These essential upgrades will help ensure a better experience for all our visitors, and will reduce future service closures.
“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 stage in our tile replacement project. “All other aquatic facilities will remain open, including the Learn to Swim Pool, Warm Water Pool Hall, Waterslides and Aquatic Playground. Importantly, this means that PARC Swim lessons in the 50m pool will not run.”
Suspensions used while the pool is out of action will not go towards members’ allowable suspensions. To learn more about the planned works visit parc.peninsulaleisure.com.au/news/main-50m-pool-closure-june-july/
