Come splash with us! Wading pools are free of charge for children 12 and under and their parent(s)/guardian(s) to enjoy. All wading pools are supervised and washroom facilities are available onsite during the regular operating hours of the wading pool.
Holidays
Four wading pools are open on statutory holidays (July 1, August 4, and September 1, 2025). All other wading pools are closed.
A pool may be closed throughout the day if any of the following conditions arise:
- The weather turns to thundershowers during the day
- Lightning and/or thunder are present
- Water, electricity, access to a phone for emergencies, first aid kit, or washroom facilities are not available
- Foreign material such as glass, fecal matter, vomit, animals, or blood is found in the pool water
- Maintenance issues
- Pool water clarity or quality does not meet Manitoba Public Health Act standards
A good routine to keep the pool clean! Before you swim, please rinse off in the shower.
- Please avoid eating 1 hour prior to swimming to avoid an upset stomach
- Take children to the washroom prior to swimming and frequently take breaks during swimming
- Non-toilet trained infants / toddlers & participants who experience incontinence must wear the appropriate leak-proof garment
- Don’t swim if you feel ill, have an upset stomach, diarrhea, or have vomited in the past day
- Avoid swallowing the pool water or getting water in your mouth
Water quality is managed according to the Manitoba Public Health Act regulations. Pool closures are a result of the contamination of pool water by fecal matter and vomit or reduced water clarity
