Project Update April 15, 2025: Mundy Park Pool is opening to the public on June 1, 2025. The expanded outdoor pool, set at the forest's edge, is ready to welcome the community back for a summer of fun and connection.

Residents are invited to jump in first and get a sneak peek at the modern, accessible and sustainable facility by attending one of several pre-registered swims throughout May. Dates will be viewable online on April 25. For more details, or to sign up when pre-registrations open on April 29, visit coquitlam.ca/registration and search “MPP Early Access Swim”.

The outdoor pool in Mundy Park has served the community for more than 50 years and the City identified the renewal of the pool as a priority project in the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan and the Aquatic Services and Infrastructure Strategy.

The Spani Outdoor Pool Renewal Study defined the upgrades and the cost. The renewal of the pool also provides an excellent opportunity to improve accessibility and inclusivity at the facility, which has been identified as a high priority in the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan along with other important City strategies.

Thank you to everyone who participated. Feedback is summarized in a What We Heard infographic.

Armed with the community’s feedback, staff prepared a detailed design which was approved by Council in February 2023. The expanded facility will be more inclusive for all ages and abilities, and maximize the range of aquatic lessons and programming offerings.

Pool features include:

  • A new leisure pool with shallow beach entry, splash area, lazy river and 1.2-metre deep end
  • A new warming pool close to the forest edge
  • Expanded deck spaces for spectator seating, a lawn area for lounging and a concession - all of which allow for more event hosting possibilities
  • Accessible universal change rooms (including gendered and non-gendered washrooms, lockers and showers)
  • Accessible admissions area and staff spaces
  • Universal washrooms that can be accessed year-round from Mundy Park
  • A multipurpose room that can be used year-round for workshops, training, certification courses and recreation programming
  • Improved drop-off and pick-up area

The existing tank has been renovated but will stay the same size with eight 25-metre swim lanes, a dive tank and a new ramp for greater accessibility.

Construction began in spring 2023, and the pool will be open for the 2025 summer swim season.
