City of Edmonton outdoor pools to start opening May 18

Edmonton's Queen Elizabeth Outdoor Pool is set to reopen on May 18. Global News

Edmonton’s Queen Elizabeth outdoor pool will mark the start of the summer pool season when it reopens on May 18, just in time for the long weekend.

Fred Broadstock is scheduled to open on May 25.

An exciting additional to the pool season includes the much-anticipated return of Mill Creek outdoor pool. The pool has been closed for the past four years for much-needed rehabilitation work.

The City of Edmonton plans to celebrate the reopening with a special event, to be announced later.

Wîhkwêntôwin outdoor pool, formerly Oliver, and Borden natural swimming pool are scheduled to open in June.
