Vancouver’s Kitsilano Pool to open June 4

Vancouver’s beloved Kitsilano Pool is finally scheduled to open on June 4.

According to the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, repairs to the pool are almost done.

“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,” the City of Vancouver’s website reads.

But for those looking to slather on some sunscreen and head to the outdoor pool, the Park Board says it is expecting a busy opening weekend.

It adds locals are encouraged to register online in advance to grab a spot at the pool, and notes that there will also be drop-in slots available.

Reservations can be booked up to three days in advance, it adds.

The New Brighton and Second Beach outdoor pools are already open, and the Maple Grove and Hillcrest pools are scheduled to open on June 15.
