Should Vancouver Replace Kits Pool? Help Shape What Comes Next
Official title: Kits Pool replacement
Kitsilano Pool has reached the end of its life after decades of use and storm damage. Vancouver is studying options for a replacement that's more climate-resilient. Your input will help shape what the new pool looks like and what features it includes.
Why This Matters
Love swimming at Kits Pool? This is your chance to shape what replaces it. The pool has been a community favourite for generations, but it's worn out and storm-damaged. Whether you want better accessibility, improved change rooms, or specific pool features, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
A new pool could be built as part of Vancouver's 2027-2030 Capital Plan. The replacement would meet modern accessibility standards and include better washrooms and change rooms. The design will also consider climate resilience and the site's significance to local First Nations.
Key Issues
- What aquatics and recreation features should the new pool include?
- How can the replacement better serve community needs?
- What accessibility improvements are most important?
How to Participate
- Review the information boards (PDF) to learn about the project and options being considered.
- Complete the online survey to share your feedback on the pool replacement.
- Attend a pop-up event at Kits Beach Park to speak with staff in person. Interpretation available in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Punjabi at select sessions.
