Annual Pool Maintenance Closure August 2 to September 1
Pender Pool is CLOSED.
Pools require annual maintenance to extend the life of the facilities and to minimize unexpected closures. Each year, we schedule planned, temporary closures of the pools and wet areas so that the water can be drained in order to complete this work.  

Between August 2 and September 1:

  • Sechelt and Gibsons pools are open.
  • Weight rooms and Fitness studios in the Sechelt Aquatic Centre and Gibsons Community Centre are open.

Location
The Pender Harbour Aquatic and Fitness Centre is located at 13639 Sunshine Coast Highway, Madeira Park. The facility is located in the lower level of Pender Harbour Secondary School.
