The Town of Hinton is preparing for its annual Aquatic Centre shutdown at the Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre. The Pool will be closed from Tuesday, September 2, to Tuesday, October 14, 2025, to complete important maintenance and facility upgrades.
Each year, the Aquatic Centre undergoes a preventative maintenance shutdown to ensure the facility remains clean, safe, and fully operational throughout the rest of the year. This year’s work includes:
- Deep cleaning of pool basins, showers, steam room, and change rooms
- Replacing chipped tiles and applying new grout
- Grip painting on pool decks and railings
- Pump servicing and drainage repairs
- Installation of a new aquatic climbing wall
- Additional lighting and accessibility upgrades
“Proactive maintenance during this shutdown reduces the risk of unexpected closures later in the year and ensures that the facility remains in top condition for our users,” says Connor Shaw, Aquatic Supervisor.
Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre Passholder
Annual pass holders will automatically receive an equivalent extension to cover the closure period. All other areas of the Recreation Centre, including the bouldering wall, courts, and arena, will remain open to the public.
Jasper will allow Hinton passholders who hold a valid membership to the Dr. Duncan Murray Recreation Centre to use the Aquatic facility for free during the Town of Hinton's shutdown.
To utilize this benefit, patrons must present their membership cards to the receptionist at the Jasper Aquatic Centre. (If members have lost their cards, customer service clerks in Hinton can print off a new one before going.)
Patrons will only be able to access their facility for drop-in programming (lane swim, family swim, public swim). Review the Jasper pool schedule here: https://www.jasper-alberta.ca/p/aquatic-centre
