Opening date announced for Lions Pool

A definitive opening date for the Lion's Pool on 104 Street in Fort Saskatchewan has been announced.

According to Shelly Brown with the Fort Saskatchewan Lions Club, the pool will open to the public starting July 3.

The reason for opening after Canada Day is due to funding and their staff.

"Because we have students that work for us, we have to wait until they're done school," said Brown.

Many residents may notice a mural painted on the pool back in 2022 by Robert Murray, who added an underwater aesthetic to the exterior of the pool.

"He's a local artist. He does quite a lot of murals in the area," said Brown. "As long as I've known about it, the siding of the pool was always white."

The pool is free to attend.
