Surrey’s outdoor pools and spray parks have begun opening

JUST in time for the warm and sunny weather, City of Surrey’s spray parks have begun opening and residents will soon be able to enjoy a free swim at an outdoor pool.

Ten of the City’s spray parks are open starting May 11, with only Bear Creek Park opening at a later date.

On May 15, three of the City’s outdoor pools will open, with all eight pools set to open by June 24.

Like last year, most pools will open between one week and one month earlier to align with the school district calendar and provide additional swim opportunities for the community.
