None of the 29 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 7 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality.

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 58 times across 29 separate inspections, most recently on June 1, 2026. For example:
The pool alkalinity is properly maintained
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 11 times across 10 separate inspections, most recently on October 17, 2024. For example:
Pool equipment is regularly tested for safety and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers' specifications
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 once on October 2, 2025. For example:
Construction or alterations have occurred with a valid construction permit or waiver.
