The city is set to celebrate the upcoming summer season with the third annual Here Comes Summer event in Muskoseepi Park.
The City of Grande Prairie event will be held on Friday, June 6th from 2:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and include the Aquatera Outdoor Pool season opener and community barbecue.
Mayor Jackie Clayton says it is exciting to celebrate the season opening of the pool at the annual event.
“Whether you come by for a swim, a hot dog or just to enjoy the sunshine, we’re proud to offer opportunities that bring our community together and support well-being all summer long,” Clayton says.
The Aquatera Outdoor Pool will open for the season on Monday, June 2nd as employees gear up to make sure everything is ready for the Here Comes Summer event. Along with the kickoff event this year the outdoor pool also will be offering the Grande Access Pass member day every Tuesday, youth day every Thursday allowing those aged 13 to 17 to enter for $2 and private facility rental options from 10:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays all season.
The pool will be open seven days a week from June 2nd until mid-September depending on the weather. However, there will be adjusted hours on Canada Day, Heritage Day and Labour Day.
