Rehabilitation of the Alexandra Park pool and chalet
Rehabilitation work on the Alexandra Park pool and clubhouse will begin in spring 2025.
In addition to modernizing the facilities, this major project will meet users' expectations and provide the community with a modern, accessible and user-friendly facility. A project that will undoubtedly have a positive and lasting impact for years to come
Presentation of the project
This project is the result of a consultative process carried out with citizens and users to ensure that their needs are at the heart of the project

- Project presentation of April 25, 2024
- The main elements of the project are outlined below:
- A completely rebuilt, modern chalet that will offer greater comfort and convenience to visitors, particularly during periods of use by day camps, for which a room will be entirely reserved.
- A repositioning of the chalet to create an opening onto the park between Regent and Bedford avenues, thus improving accessibility.
- A deeper, longer pool (25 metres) with swim lanes that meet swimmers' expectations, as well as more space for free swimming.
- The addition of a slide in the main pool.
- A new wading pool with a beach entrance and integrated water games.
- The addition of reduced-mobility access to both pools.
- Optimization of the site's vegetation, particularly on the area around the main pool, to combat heat islands and minimize impermeable surfaces.
Site plan
Project cost
This project represents a major investment for the city, estimated at over $6.6 million. This investment will be partially financed by a $2.69 million grant from Component 1 of the Ministère de l'Éducation's Programme d'aide financière aux infrastructures récréatives, sportives et de plein air (PAFIRSPA). The City will cover the remaining costs.
Preliminary schedule
Work will start in April, with the demolition of existing facilities. Work will continue without interruption until June 2026, to allow the facilities to reopen in time for the summer season.
Work area
Work will take place in the area shown in the image below. To ensure safety in the area of the work site, this zone will be completely fenced off. The park, tennis courts and baseball field will remain accessible to the public.
Impact on local residents
Demolition work on the existing chalet, pool and beach, as well as excavation work for the new facilities, will bring a large number of heavy vehicles into the area. The preferred traffic routes will be Bedford and Regent avenues, in order to avoid truck back-up manoeuvres as much as possible and to ensure safety in the area.
We are aware that work of this nature will result in increased activity in the close area of the site, with consequent impacts on traffic, noise and the daily lives of residents. However, the city will ensure that any inconvenience is kept to a minimum.
