Kitsilano Pool, a popular summer destination for Vancouver residents, will not be opening its doors this year. The Vancouver Park Board has announced that the pool will remain closed for the entire summer season due to ongoing maintenance and repair work.
The decision to keep Kitsilano Pool closed was made after careful consideration and consultation with experts. The pool, which is over 80 years old, requires significant repairs and upgrades to ensure the safety of its visitors. The Park Board has stated that the closure is necessary to address structural issues and to improve the overall experience for pool-goers.
The closure of Kitsilano Pool is a disappointment for many Vancouverites who look forward to spending their summer days lounging by the pool. However, the Park Board has assured the public that the closure is necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of the pool. The repairs and upgrades will not only improve the safety of the pool, but also enhance its accessibility and functionality for all visitors.
In addition to the structural repairs, the Park Board is also taking this opportunity to make some much-needed improvements to the pool’s facilities. This includes upgrading the change rooms, adding new shade structures, and improving the overall aesthetics of the pool area.
While the closure of Kitsilano Pool may be disappointing, there are still plenty of other outdoor pools and beaches in Vancouver for residents to enjoy this summer. The Park Board has also announced that they will be offering free admission to all outdoor pools for the entire month of July to make up for the closure of Kitsilano Pool.
The Park Board has stated that they are committed to ensuring the safety and enjoyment of all visitors to Kitsilano Pool. They are working diligently to complete the necessary repairs and upgrades as quickly as possible, with the goal of reopening the pool for the summer of 2022.
In the meantime, the Park Board encourages residents to explore other outdoor pools and beaches in the city and to take advantage of the free admission in July. They also thank the public for their understanding and patience during this necessary closure of Kitsilano Pool.
