Recreation & Culture

Things will look a lot different at Brennan Park Recreation Centre as a new phase of construction is now underway. This is the second of several phases of construction planned over the next two years to retrofit the building. Signage has been installed to help guide patrons through the facility and customer service staff are at their stations to help smooth your way. We look forward to sharing updates as work progresses!

Important Updates

Notice of Pool Closure - Update, Friday, February 14

We are listening to the community questions and conversations following Wednesday’s pool closure announcement.

Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) has the regulatory authority to authorize closures under the Public Health Act, and inspections occur on an as-needed basis. Slip-resistance testing was carried out at the pool by an independent third party on February 11, under the direction of VCH. The report indicated that the tiles did not meet the required anti-slip standards for wet surfaces. Under the BC Public Health Act Pool Regulation, a pool operator must ensure that pool aprons, walkways and floors have a surface that is slip-resistant when wet. Because the slip-resistance did not meet the required standards for wet surfaces, VCH ordered an immediate closure.

The Brennan Park pool closes for annual maintenance each year to ensure the longevity of the Aquatic Centre and to help prevent larger, more costly problems from occurring. During this maintenance, all areas of the Aquatic Centre are inspected for damage and/or regular wear and routine preventive maintenance is done on boilers, pumps, HVAC systems.

The timeline for re-opening is not yet known, and subject to identifying and planning corrective actions, implementing corrective actions, inspections, and VCH approval to re-open. We estimate the closure could be in place for a minimum of four weeks however it could extend further depending on the nature of corrective actions required and VCH approval process.

Any 10 and 20 visit passes due to expire during the closure will be extended. Monthly pass holders will also receive an extension through the closure. Staff will cancel and refund all registered aquatic programs and rentals. Refunds will automatically be issued next week.

Brennan Park Recreation Centre front desk will close at 9 p.m. Monday to Friday for the duration of the pool closure. All Arena rentals will continue as normal.

We will continue to keep the community updated and thank you for your patience while we work to re-open the pool as quickly as possible.

Restricted Access to Auditorium

Starting on Monday, January 13, access to the auditorium from the east (Arena) entrance lobby will be restricted as phase two of construction progresses. Temporary accessible and non-accessible washrooms will be available along the south wall outside the auditorium.

We kindly ask patrons to use the south entrance to access the auditorium until further notice. Wayfinding signage will be in place to assist you. Thank you for patience and understanding as we work to improve the space!
