A flagship project for the West Island, the Pierrefonds‑Roxboro aquatic complex is a modern, welcoming space dedicated to community life and equitable access to swimming and water‑based activities.

A gathering place and a source of community pride 

Designed as a vibrant hub for daily life and social interaction, the Pierrefonds‑Roxboro aquatic complex plays a key role in improving access to aquatic activities for local residents. Highly anticipated by the community, it is a source of neighbourhood pride and aligns with the City of Montréal’s priorities in solidarity, equity and inclusion. 

Located in the heart of the borough—near City Hall, the library, the community and cultural centre, schools, shops and major transportation corridors (bus routes, REM, bike paths and BIXI)—the complex is destined to become a true gathering place and a driver of neighbourhood vitality. It also defines the site of a future public square planned for 2027.

The Pierrefonds‑Roxboro aquatic complex is pursuing LEED v4 Gold certification, reflecting a strong commitment to Montréal’s ecological transition. The building was designed to be innovative, low‑carbon and resilient to climate change. 

Key sustainable features include: 

  • Optimized energy efficiency 

  • Responsible water management and conservation 

  • Reduced greenhouse gas emissions 

  • Geothermal energy for mechanical systems

Universal accessibility guided every stage of the complex’s design. Movement throughout the facility is made easier through access ramps, an elevator, wide circulation areas, a zero‑depth entry pool and pool access ramps. 

An inclusive universal locker room 

One of the complex’s standout features is its universal locker room, designed to support inclusion and comfort: 

  • Families can stay together 

  • Children can be accompanied easily 

  • People with reduced mobility benefit from adapted spaces alongside caregivers 

  • School groups, day camps and community organizations enjoy modern, functional facilities 

Each user changes in a private cubicle, and nudity is prohibited in common areas to ensure comfort and respect for everyone. Safety is ensured by trained staff and appropriate supervision, within an environment focused on collective well‑being.

To ensure a safe, pleasant and respectful experience for all users, the following rules must be observed: 

  • Follow instructions from staff and lifeguards 

  • Respect hygiene and safety rules specific to aquatic facilities 

  • Maintain respectful behaviour toward other users 

  • Nudity is prohibited at all times in shared spaces 

  • Photos and videos are not permitted
