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.
