What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people using the facility. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly cause illness or injury, such as water that is not properly treated.
Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk
For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.
Recorded 6 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on July 16, 2026. For example:
pH is within range of 7.2 to 7.8
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, water-test logs, posted bather rules and emergency procedures. Daily test logs are how operators show the water was checked and treated between inspections.
Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on January 20, 2026. For example:
Emergency telephone sign posted with complete list of emergency contacts
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Decks, ladders, fencing, drains, washrooms and signage must be in good repair. Damaged drain covers or broken fencing can be real safety hazards, while most other upkeep issues are lower risk.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 11, 2025. For example:
Premises is maintained free from every serious condition that may be a health hazard
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Pumps, filters, chemical feeders and safety equipment such as lifebuoys, reaching poles and first-aid kits must be present and working. Missing safety equipment can matter a great deal in an emergency.
Recorded once on May 28, 2025. For example:
Safety equipment available and in good repair
Other findingsLower risk
