Facility Sports Field and Pool Closures

Halton District School Board have notified us of an asphalt replacement project which will impact Aldershot Pool and the parking areas. To ensure public safety, Aldershot Pool and parking areas will be temporarily closed to the public. Tentative project dates are from Aug. 22 until Sept. 2; however, this is dependent on the school board’s completion of the project. Our other indoor pools as well as our outdoor pools are open as usual. www.burlington.ca/recreation.

Those who have registered for Learn to Swim programming at Aldershot during the closure will be contacted by Customer Service staff to discuss options.

SNAP camp will be moving to Aldershot arena.
