Outdoor Pools

The Park Board operates four large outdoor pools throughout the City. One outdoor neighbourhood pool and three destination, beachside pools are open during the summer. Kitsilano Pool is heated and offers easy access "beach entry" for children. It is the only salt water pool in Vancouver and one of the few in the world. Second Beach Pool in Stanley Park is a heated, beach entry-style pool on the shores of English Bay. On the east side of the city, New Brighton Pool located north of the PNE offers regular length swimming and a beach entry for toddlers. The neighbourhood pool is Maple Grove Pool in south Vancouver. All the pools are heated and accessible to persons with a disability.

A smaller outdoor pool operates at Hillcrest Centre near Queen Elizabeth Park.
