This week, Pelican Park's aquatic areas and gym have officially reopened, offering new cardio equipment, a dedicated Recovery Zone with massage chairs and compression boots, and refreshed change rooms, including a refurbished family change village.
The spa and steam room are also back for members to enjoy, and CONNECT30 and Burn It functional gym sessions have returned to the Health Club space.
Behind the scenes, the project delivered important upgrades including pool shell repairs, plant infrastructure improvements and a new HVAC system for improved comfort.
But that isn't all, there are more upgrades coming soon! Looking ahead, we will introduce 24/7 gym access, a Reformer Pilates studio and a new Wellness Centre featuring ice baths and infrared saunas.
As we complete final enhancements to support new programs and services, Group Fitness classes will continue at pop-up locations at Hastings Community Hub and Somerville Recreation Centre until further notice. Members can also take advantage of reciprocal access to other Shire recreation centres for activities such as pickleball, badminton and casual basketball.
Together, these changes mean Pelican Park will be future-ready and better equipped to support the community for years to come.
