The City of Vancouver and Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation are seeking public input to help plan a future for Kitsilano Pool.
After serving the community for decades and having sustained storm damage to its structure, the Kitsilano Pool is at the end of its service life. As directed by City Council, City and Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation staff are conducting a feasibility study to explore options for the future of Kitsilano Pool that could: address climate resilience and storm preparedness; honour the history and cultural significance of the site; and improve accessibility and support community wellness.
How to get involved
Community feedback will help identify community aquatics and recreation needs that will be considered in planning for the future of Kitsilano Pool. The public is invited to:
• Take the online survey from June 24 – July 14, 2025, at ShapeYourCity.ca/Kits-Pool-
• Attend in-person events at Kitsilano Beach Park to learn more and provide input:
- Saturday, June 28 from 2 to 5 pm
- Friday, July 4 from 4 to 7 pm
- Sunday, July 6 from noon to 3 pm
The replacement of Kitsilano Pool will be considered as part of the City’s 2027-2030 Capital Plan. Future funding decisions will be made in the context of city-wide priorities, climate resilience requirements and commitments to honour the significance of this site to local Nations.
