Inspection summary

The Mark - Outdoor Pool has been inspected 25 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since May 11, 2015. The most recent inspection, on May 27, 2026, found no infractions.

4 of 25 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality and Chemicals and toxic substances.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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 54 times across 21 separate inspections, most recently on May 12, 2026. For example: An operator of a pool has prepared, maintains, and follows a written pool safety plan to ensure the health and safety of pool patrons

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Pool chemicals such as chlorine and acid must be labelled, stored apart from each other and handled safely. Mixing them by mistake can release toxic gas, so storage and handling problems are treated seriously.

    Recorded 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on August 13, 2025. For example: Chemicals are stored in a safe manner and location

  • 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 9 separate inspections, most recently on May 12, 2026. For example: Adequate safety equipment is provided
