Temporary Pool Closure

The pool will be closed from December 22, 2025, until April 2026 to allow for the replacement of the ventilation units and the dehumidifier. During this time, the pool will also be drained and undergo maintenance.

These upgrades are part of the Centre du Plateau’s energy efficiency and roof improvement work and are necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of the facility.

To compensate for the closure, additional free swim periods and swimming lessons will be offered starting in January 2026 at the following borough pools:

• Lévesque Pool
• Schubert Pool
• YMCA du Parc Pool (free swim periods available to all Montreal residents)

Other pools in nearby boroughs will also be accessible:

• Rosemont Aquatic Complex (Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie)
• Jean-Claude-Malépart Centre Pool (Ville-Marie)
• Cégep du Vieux Montréal Pool (Ville-Marie)
• Pool at the Association sportive et communautaire du Centre-Sud (Ville-Marie)
