Revitalisation of Pelican Park Recreation Centre

Published on 21 March 2024

Mornington Peninsula Shire will be undertaking essential maintenance and renewal works at Pelican Park Recreation Centre.

These vital works involve the replacement of current plant equipment including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and boilers, alongside necessary repairs to the pool shell, as well as other works to improve the facility and your overall experience.

To undertake the works, Pelican Park will be required to temporarily close for around 4 to 6 months.

The proposed closure is planned to start from October 2024 with the centre reopening March/April 2025.

These works are necessary to ensure our community can continue to enjoy visiting Pelican Park into the future.

Mornington Peninsula Shire will provide regular updates while we work towards enhancing the facilities at Pelican Park Recreation Centre.
