The Town of Orangeville will begin a full assessment of the pool at the Tony Rose Memorial Sports Centre, to identify the full extent of remediation required for the pool and consider other usage opportunities for the facility.
Discussions about the future of the pool arose from the failure of the facility’s dehumidification unit in late June.
I had a chat with Mayor Lisa Post about the future of the Tony Rose Memorial Sports Centre.
Council and Staff stressed that the closure discussion does not extend to the full Tony Rose Memorial Sports Centre facility.
The pool is the only element that will be closed during the study.
As aquatics programming from Tony Rose Memorial Sports Centre has shifted over to the Alder Street Recreation Centre pools, Recreation staff have continued to optimize their offerings.
Based on current projections, by 2025 the Alder pool could accommodate swimming lessons for 10,000 swimmers per year.
