City of Toronto outdoor pools and wading pools are now fully open for the summer

TORONTO, June 30, 2023 – As now that we are in the full throes of summer and most students are also on summer vacation, the City says that starting today, all outdoor pools and 90 supervised wading pools are open for their full summer schedule.

Toronto pool hours of operation

The outdoor pools will be open daily until Sunday, September 3, at 4 p.m., except for 10 that will remain open until Monday, September 4, at 5 p.m. Most of the City’s outdoor pools are open daily from noon to approximately 8 p.m. However, the hours of operation may vary slightly later in the season due to optimal visibility conditions for lifeguards. Please check the hours for specific pools at www.toronto.ca/swim.

Toronto splashpads

The City’s 140+ splash and spray pads operating across Toronto will be open until Sunday, September 17. Splash pads operate daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and are activated with push-button features. Caregivers are reminded to supervise children as these are unsupervised water-play areas.

Lifeguards

Lifeguard supervision at nine City beaches is also available seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., with lifeguard supervision beginning tomorrow at a tenth beach. Please continue to swim only in designated areas.
