Parking Update - October 2024

During large events, there will be 2hr parking limits for the Ascot Vale Leisure Centre carpark. Please ensure that you obtain a parking permit from AVLC reception when you arrive.

We highly encourage everybody to make sure that they check traffic conditions before they visit, and allow for additional travel time where required - especially for those booked into swimming lessons and group fitness classes.
