Summer just became a little bit more affordable because the City of Edmonton has announced that admission to the Edmonton Outdoor Pools will be free again in 2018.
From May – September the City of Edmonton is running a pilot program due to the over 60,000 increase in attendance at Edmonton outdoor pools last summer when they were free to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.

Because attendance increased so much it was apparent that this is a much-needed resource for families in the Edmonton area. During the 2018 season, data will be collected with hopes to propose that free admission to Edmonton Outdoor Pools be included in the budget every year.
Will be nice to have it for free admission especially that everything is so priced high this days and hard to get by
That’s great!!
I truly think that free outdoor pools should be in every community in Edmonton for summer as much as free outdoor skating is. This should be something that is available for everyone.
This is excellent news! It was possible to swim every day that weather permitted for many families!
It would be nice to spend time with family at the pool and free admission is a big bonus especially for families with kids.
What pool is the one in the picture here !? Looks great for little guys
