Spray & Play Wading Pool
Located at Southside Aquatic Centre 315 Finkle Street, the spray and play wading pool offers hours of fun with spray features and slides in a shallow pool.
Because Lions Pool will be closed for Summer 2023, Council has waived the wading pool admission for the season. That means guests can access the wading pool for free this summer!
The spray and play wading pool is also open for rentals. Contact the Southside Aquatic Centre for details.
