Online reservations

We’ve launched a brand new online ticket system, which is easy to navigate and helps you plan, track, and manage all your reservation requests in one place. Setting up your account is easy - just create a password, complete your profile, and you’re ready to go.

The online advanced reservation system allows you to make the most of your time at the pool by offering:
- Guaranteed entry: By booking your ticket online in advance, you can ensure entry, avoiding long line-ups and waiting times.
- Increased time slots: Enjoy more time in the water with extended public swimming slots in most of our pools (now 2.5 hours instead of 2 hours). Length swimming time slots have also been increased from 60 to 90 minutes.
- Expanded access for pass holders: Pass holders, including Park Board Flexipass, 10-visit usage pass, and Leisure Access pass (access code needed) can conveniently reserve their swims online, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience at our outdoor pools.
- Flexibility: We offer an online reservation system combined with drop-in options to cater to different preferences and schedules.
  - Online reservations: 80% of spaces are available for online reservations, providing a guaranteed spot upon arrival.
  - Drop-in visits: 20% of spaces are reserved for drop-in visitors, offering spontaneity and flexibility for your pool visits. However, admission is not guaranteed for those opting to drop into a pool.
Fees

As with most online reservation systems, there is a small fee for the services associated with creating and executing a ticketing system. We strive to keep these charges minimal while still providing a convenient reservation system for our visitors.

Leisure Access

You will need to present a valid LAP and a copy of the reservation ticket for each person in the party for pool admission. Leisure Access participants without a valid LAP card will not be granted free admission and will need to wait in the drop-in line and pay for admission if space is available.

Children 4 years and under

For children 4 years and under, an accompanying adult reservation is required. Monitoring the number of reservations for each period allows pools to maintain proper staffing ratios between swimmers and lifeguards, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all.

Buy tickets online

Online reservation is not required but recommended. There will be a limited number of sessions available for drop-ins, and admission is not guaranteed.

Park Board Flexipasses, 10-visit passes, and LAP are accepted for online bookings and drop-ins at all outdoor pools.

Present your pass for scanning upon entry.

Registration opens 3 days in advance at noon, starting June 1.
