Inglewood Aquatic Centre Permanent Closure Update
The Inglewood Aquatic Centre has been identified as one of 13 City-operated recreation facilities that require major electrical repairs. While there is no safety risk for customers or staff accessing the facility, there is a risk the electrical system could unexpectedly fail. In consideration of Council’s prior decision to permanently close the facility and to reduce the risk of sudden impacts to customers and swim clubs, Inglewood Aquatic Centre will close on December 22, 2024.
While we understand and share in the collective disappointment at the loss of this notable recreation amenity in Ward 9, we also want to convey a few key points that lead to this decision.
