Enjoy summer at Pelican Park

Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings has a range of activities this summer for kids to enjoy.

Let your children play on the exciting giant inflatable water toy; participate in the various play days or simply splash about with friends in the leisure pool. Build your child’s confidence, improve stroke technique and enhance water safety skills by enrolling them into the centre’s ‘Intensive Swim Program’. Students participate in one 30 minute lesson, Monday to Friday.   

Pelican Park has its very own child care facility and is available for program and occasional care for children from 6 weeks to 10 years old. This means you can enjoy the gym, swimming laps, relaxing in the spa or taking a bite to eat at Pelican Pantry whilst your children are cared for by qualified staff.

Australia Day celebrations in Hastings are being organised by the Western Port Festival committee and take place mainly on the Hastings Foreshore.

They start at 10am with a free community brunch, sponsored (somewhat strangely) by the Grand Hotel which is in Mornington. At the same time there will be live music by the Western Port Regional Band and the group Reworkt. Also at this time there will be children's rides and games.

The flag raising will be at 11am with the Tingara naval cadets and an Australia Day address by Robert Walls. Robert Walls played football for 15 years for Carlton and Fitzroy and captained Victoria. He played in Premierships in 1968, 70 and 72. He then coached for 16 years at Fitzroy, Carlton, Brisbane and Richmond and in 1987 was Carlton Premiership coach. He coached Victoria in last State of Origin game in 1999. He currently works for AFL media with Channel 10, 3AW, The Age and FOXfooty.

The annual Carols by Candlelight event on the foreshore took place on Friday, December 11, preceded as usual by the children's fancy dress parade down High Street. Following are some pictures of both events. (More photos will be included tomorrow)
