Edmontonians still have a chance to enjoy a few more days of outdoor swimming before the season ends.
Outdoor City run pools are wrapping up operations this month, with most facilities preparing to close soon.
Borden, Fred Broadstock and Mill Creek Outdoor Pools will shut down for the year on September 8.
Wîhkwêntôwin and Queen Elizabeth Outdoor Pools plan to stay open through September 12 (subject to weather and air quality conditions) and close for the season on September 13.
After each pool closes, aquatics crews start the annual shutdown process—inspecting equipment and getting the sites ready for winter.
“Despite this summer’s unpredictable weather and storms, we are glad Edmonton’s outdoor pools continue to be the place to gather and cool off during the hot summer months. Our facilities are community hubs where people can socialize with friends and family or simply relax for the day,” said Shauna Graham, Supervisor, Site Coordination and Operations. “As this summer season draws to a close, our aquatics staff will be hard at work ensuring our outdoor pools are safe and fun for Edmontonians in summer 2027.”
As of September 2, the City’s outdoor pools had drawn 93,023 visitors in 2026—up from 78,707 the previous year.
