 Extended Aquatic Closure

Closure update

The competition, teach wave, tot and dive pools have now reopened for public use.

Water slide opening details will be coming soon. The final inspection and commissioning of the new water slide is scheduled for Wednesday, November 12 which will not impact regular pool operations. Staff will receive training on the operation and supervision of the new water slide between November 12 and 18. Public access will commence once training is completed. Please check back here for updates.

Why the extended closure?

A new, modern waterslide is coming to Saanich Commonwealth Place, marking the return of one of our most popular amenities. The new slide replaces the 32-year-old slide, which has been closed for almost two years.

Featuring colourful, patterned fibreglass sections that enhance the thrill of the riders’ experience, the new slide is being built by Vancouver-based company, Whitewater West.

We thank you for your patience and look forward to welcoming you back to celebrate the opening of the new waterslide this fall!
