Seven Oaks Pool capital closure

In addition to the main tank closure, the splash pad and kiddie pool are closed due to unexpected heating issues. While we work to replace the heat exchanger unit, the entire facility is closed and swimming lessons are cancelled.

We are also going to take this opportunity to do the splash pad area repair work now, so we do not need to close again. We expect to reopen the splash pad and kiddie pool in mid-June. Check back for updates.

The main tank at the Seven Oaks Pool is scheduled to close for major capital work, including:

  • Concrete/structural repair
  • Waterproofing
  • Tile replacement:
    • Main tank
    • Part of the pool deck

Floor tiling repairs to the splash pad area will also be completed during May and early June.
