The City of St. Catharines is gearing up for splashing good times at its splash pads and pools.
The City’s inclusive splash pads at Lester B. Pearson Park, Catherine Street Park and West Park are open for the season. Splash pads are open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Admission is free. The new splash pad at Bogart Street Park is currently under construction and will open later this summer.
The pools at the St. Catharines Kiwanis Aquatics Centre will close for four weeks starting Tuesday, June 2 for annual scheduled maintenance, such as draining and cleaning both pools, any necessary re-grouting and a deep cleaning of the facility.

Operating hours for the St. Catharines Public Library’s Dr. Huq Family Library Branch will not be affected by the maintenance work.
