Kitsilano Outdoor Pool (Kits Pool), one of Vancouver’s most unique and beloved pools, has reached the end of its service life. Replacing Kits Pool provides an exciting opportunity to better meet a variety of residents’ aquatics and recreation needs.
The Kits Pool replacement may also provide new possibilities for the community stage (also known as the Showboat) and the areas of Kitsilano Beach Park surrounding the pool.
How to get involved
We're conducting a feasibility study to explore options for a future replacement of Kits Pool.
Your feedback will help identify the community aquatics and recreation needs that are considered in planning the Kits Pool replacement. Share your input by:
This feasibility study is the first step in planning for the future replacement of Kits Pool. The study will develop options to replace Kits Pool and address the pool's current challenges.
The replacement of Kits Pool will be considered as part of the City’s 2027-2030 Capital Plan. Future funding decisions will be made in the context of city-wide priorities, climate resilience requirements and commitments to honour the significance of this site to local Nations.
We will share the engagement summary here in fall 2025. Once the renewal of Kits Pool is funded by a future capital plan, there may be more opportunities for you to provide feedback.
