COQUITLAM, B.C., Aug. 16, 2023 – Coquitlam’s City Centre Aquatic Complex (CCAC) will undergo its annual maintenance closure from Tuesday, Sept. 5 to Sunday, Oct. 1, reopening on Monday, Oct. 2.
The fitness centre at CCAC will be closed Tuesday, Sept. 5 to Monday, Sept. 11, reopening on Tuesday, Sept. 12. From Sept. 12 to Oct. 1, the gym hours will be Monday to Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., Saturday, 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and closed on Sundays. The front desk will close 30-minutes before the gym closes.
Maintenance Vital for Daily Public Use
The swimming pool at CCAC, located at 1210 Pinetree Way, is open to the public every day and the systems run continuously. The closure is necessary for maintenance and cleaning that cannot be completed while the facility is open, and ensures a safe environment for staff and the public, reduces the likelihood of equipment failures and extends the life of City assets.
Annual maintenance tasks include:
- Draining the pools and deep-cleaning the tanks;
- Deep cleaning the fitness centres and equipment, lockers, change rooms, showers, lifejackets and pool toys;
- Regrouting tiles and touching up paint; and
- Inspecting and servicing mechanical systems and other equipment.
Alternative Options Available
Guests can swim in Coquitlam at Poirier Sport & Leisure Complex (PSLC) at 633 Poirier St. The fitness centre at PSLC will also be open for drop-in fitness classes and weight room access. Hours and details are available at coquitlam.ca/PSLC.
Outdoor swimming options are also available at Eagle Ridge Outdoor Pool at 2689 Guildford Way until Oct. 22. Visit coquitlam.ca/OutdoorPools for all the details.
New Lockers Coming to CCAC
Users will notice new lockers in the change rooms when CCAC reopens to the public. In addition to the quarter lockers, users can now use their ONE PASS card to lock a locker. The new lockers are free to use, returning the quarter or ONE PASS card after each use. To get started, visit the front desk to get your ONE PASS card hole-punched or pick up a blank card. If you need assistance, the lifeguards are available to help.
