Inglewood Aquatic Centre: Temproary Closure for Critical Safety Upgrades - July 2025
The City of Calgary has announced that the Inglewood Aquatic Centre will temporarily close beginning July 21, 2025, for approximately two months to complete essential safety and infrastructure upgrades identified through a recent facility assessment.
While previous assessments indicated that repairs were not immediately necessary, recent findings confirmed the need for prompt action to protect the safety of staff and facility users. The closure is required to complete critical electrical repairs, including an upgrade to the electrical bonding system, which will ensure all metal components on the pool deck are properly grounded—significantly enhancing safety for all users. Additional work includes sump pump and railing replacements to meet current safety standards.
Alternative Drop-In Swim Locations
During the closure, residents are encouraged to use the following nearby aquatic facilities:
Bob Bahan Aquatic & Fitness Centre – 4812 14 Ave. S.E. (approx. 5 km away)
Renfrew Aquatic & Fitness Centre – 810 13 Ave. N.E. (approx. 5 km away)

Aquafit customers are encouraged to rebook their classes independently at alternate locations.
Birthday parties will be accommodated at other City facilities where possible, and staff will contact affected customers directly.

Ongoing Investment and Future Outlook
To date, approximately $320,000 in repairs and upgrades have been completed or are planned at the facility, with $80,000 in remaining Council-approved capital funds. The City is committed to maintaining operations at the Inglewood Aquatic Centre through 2027, in accordance with Council direction. However, if future critical repairs exceed available funding, permanent closure may be considered.
