It’s a sign that summer is coming to an end. The City of Edmonton is set to close all but one of its outdoor pools early next week.
All of the outdoor pools apart from Queen Elizabeth will close on Monday, Sept. 2.
As of Tuesday afternoon, there have been 122,488 visits to Edmonton outdoor pools this season.
Queen Elizabeth is scheduled to remain open until at least Sept. 8. After that, the city will assess the status of the pool depending on the weather.
Admission to outdoor pools was once again free this summer, for the third year in a row.
The free admission pilot program, which initially waived pool fees between July and September 2017 as part of Canada 150 celebrations, saw 153,000 people visit city pools during that period — compared to 88,639 the year before.
