Vancouver residents and visitors will not be able to enjoy one of the city’s most visited outdoor recreation sites this summer.
The Kitsilano outdoor pool will not be open due to what the park board calls “a number of core issues.”
While many repairs were made during the off-season, the pool is still losing too much water, making it impossible to balance chemicals.
