Winnipeg announces extended spray pad season to ‘beat the heat’

Winnipeg is tacking an extra week onto spray pad season this year to help families “beat the heat.”

Spray pads will be open until September 11, rather than their originally scheduled shut-down date, Sept. 4. They will be open daily from 9:30 a.m. – 8:30 p.m.

For more information, see: City of Winnipeg – Spray Pads.

Despite spray pads staying open longer, Winnipeg reminds swimmers that outdoor and wading pools will all be closed by September 4, with the exception of a few that will close or have already closed earlier.
