The Eastlink Centre aquatics area, minus the 25 metre program pool, has reopened after a seven week closure for maintenance.
Some of the work done since the aquatics area closed at the beginning of September includes deep cleaning of all the facility’s amenities, fixing broken tiles and lights, line painting the 500-metre pool, and resurfacing more than 3,100 square metres of the deck. According to the City of Grande Prairie, a decent chunk of the work completed over the shutdown falls under a ten-year maintenance cycle.
Earlier in October, it was revealed the 25 metre program pool won’t reopen until November 6th. According to the city, the delay in re-opening is due to necessary repairs of the 50 metre competition pool
that were found when the pool was drained.
