Officially having opened its doors in 2012, Regent Park Aquatic Centre was built as part of a Regent Park rehabilitation project to transform this low-income neighbourhood into a hip, new area of the city. Spending $14.8 million dollars ($2 million of which were donated by Donald Trump), the city pulled no punches. Good thing too, as there’s plenty for you to enjoy. With a six-lane lap pool, water slide, Tarzan rope swing, diving boards, whirlpool and a large shallow children's area with numerous fountains, Regent Park is arguably the most family-friendly pool around. And, it's gorgeous!
Bright, airy and modern, this public pool feels more like a speciality training area and is downright pleasant to use. Anyone receiving a pass to this pool can enjoy swimming laps, diving, sliding down the water slide or even using the Tarzan rope swing. For those friends who love swimming, an annual pass to the pool is a great stocking stuffer that they are sure to use on a regular basis.
