MAINTENANCE CLOSURES
Jimmy Thompson Pool: Due to significant repairs required to the pool basin uncovered during scheduled maintenance, the re-opening date of the pool will be delayed until further notice. Given the pool’s heritage status and cultural importance, the facility will remain closed while a feasibility assessment is undertaken to determine the scope, approach, and requirements for the necessary restoration work. Spring registered swim lessons have been relocated to Sir Winston Churchill Recreation Centre and Norman Pinky Lewis Recreation Centre

Valley Park Community Centre: Reopening Monday April 13 for regular site users.  The gymnasium opening will be delayed until Monday, April 20 to allow time for the new floor installation to cure. This curing process is important to ensure the floor is safe, durable, and ready for use. Registered program participants within impacted programs will be notified directly by phone. 
Valley Park Pool:  Closed March 23 to Summer 2026 to begin work on the pool basin, waterslide replacement and changerooms.. More information on this closure: hamilton.ca/recprojects
