Annual maintenance begins at Beban Park pool and weight room
NEWS RELEASE - Distributed July 25, 2017 12:15 PM
Summary
Starting Monday, July 31 through Tuesday, September 5, the Beban Park pool and weight room will be closed for annual maintenance.
During this five-week period a variety of cleaning and maintenance work will be completed including, touch-up painting, re-grouting and cleaning of change room lockers and athletic equipment. Work crews will also:
- replace any missing tiles in the pools, change rooms and on the pool deck;
- drain and clean all tanks (main/leisure/teach/hot tub);
- inspect/repair expansion joints;
- service the pool circulating pumps and heat exchangers.
Link to Strategic Plan: The Beban pool and weight room maintenance shutdown support the Asset Management priority.
Key Points
- During the Beban Park pool maintenance shutdown, the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre remains open. There are public swims at the Kin Pool and Westwood Lake Park also offers swimming with lifeguards on duty from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm daily until September 4.
- The City aims to keep pool shutdowns as short as possible and schedules them during the summer months when outdoor activities are the focus for many residents.
- Just a reminder, all City facilities are closed on BC Day (August 1) and Labour Day (September 4).
