On Sunday June 4, 2023, the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation will re-open beloved Kitsilano pool.
Critical repairs involving filling cracks, mechanical testing and systems are close to complete following a cool, wet spring. The need for 10+ days of consecutive dry and warm weather (over 10 degrees Celsius) meant the start of repairs were delayed until late in April.
Due to expected demand, it is recommended outdoor pool users register online in advance through Showpass External website, opens in new tab. Reservations can be booked 3 days prior at 12pm. There will be a number of sessions available for drop-ins; however, admission is not guaranteed.
Vancouver Park Board’s Maple Grove and Hillcrest outdoor pools will open on June 15. More operational details to follow in the coming weeks.
