St. Marys Aquatics Centre to be closed for renovations starting November 11

Closure expected to last approximately six months

The Pyramid Recreation Centre pool is getting an upgrade. The Aquatics Centre will be closed to the public as of Monday, November 11, 2024, to accommodate renovations to the space.

The project will involve installing a new HVAC unit and exhaust systems to improve air quality. Repairs will also be made to any parts of the Aquatics Centre that have experienced wear and tear.

The pool will be closed for the duration of the project, but the Pyramid Recreation Centre will remain open for regular hours and continue to offer a variety of recreation and leisure activities, including:

Arena and Ice Rentals: Two indoor ice pads offering public skating, skating programs for all ages and ice rentals. For program details, please visit www.townofstmarys.com/skating.

EarlyON Centre: Free drop-in programs for parents/caregivers and children aged 0 – 6 years. Visit www.townofstmarys.com/earlyon for more information.

Friendship Centre: Activities and recreational programs for adults and people with differing abilities to support social, physical and mental well-being. Program information can be found at www.townofstmarys.com/friendshipcentre.

Youth Centre: A safe and inclusive space for youth to socialize, encourage development and reinforce positive play. Visit www.townofstmarys.com/youthcentre for more details.

Work on the pool is expected to take approximately six months. Updates to the project and a reopening date will be provided through local media, the Town website (www.townofstmarys.com), Facebook (www.facebook.com/stmarysontario) and Twitter/X (www.twitter.com/townofstmarys).
