VANCOUVER — The City of Vancouver and Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation are seeking public input to help plan a future for much-loved Kitsilano Pool. 

°Õ³ó±ðÌýpool has had its share of leaks and is more than 50 years old. It has reached the end-of life phase with “many failing and deteriorating components.

The pool also sustained major storm damage from the King Storm event in 2022, where a king tide and intense storm activity combined to cause flooding along the Vancouver seawall and in downtown Squamish, B.C.

As directed by council, City and Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation staff are now 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, a release reads.

Community feedback is being sought to 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 until July 14 at
• Attend in-person events at Kitsilano Beach Park:

• Saturday, June 28 from 2 to 5 p.m.
• ​Friday, July 4 from 4 to 7 p.m.
• ​Sunday, July 6 from noon to 3 p.m.

The replacement of Kitsilano Pool will be considered as part of the city’s 2027-2030 Capital Plan.
