Originally opened in 1970 as Coronation Pool, Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre closed in March 2020 due to COVID-19 public health restrictions. The City began rehabilitation work in fall 2021 to bring the facility up to current building codes and Alberta Health Pool Standards while integrating City of Edmonton accessibility and sustainability policies. The work was completed in late 2025, and the facility has reopened as the Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre within the Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre.
The City of Edmonton now operates a total of 20 recreation and leisure centres. These facilities support the City’s goals of creating positive opportunities, promoting health and well-being, fostering inclusion, and building strong communities. |
