Construction is finally about to kick off for the new Wascana Pool.
The City of Regina said in a media release Wednesday the work is to begin this month.
“The new Wascana Pool can be enjoyed by everyone and increase visitation to our crown-jewel, Wascana Park,” Mayor Sandra Masters said in the release.
The concept plan for the pool was originally unveiled in February of last year and construction of the pool was expected to start later that year. It was delayed as the approval process played out.
When the new pool opens, people can expect to see a walk-in leisure pool, lap pool, hot tub, waterslides, lazy river and accessible washrooms and change rooms.
