Crestwood Rec Centre closing for July

MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Crestwood Recreation Centre will close for the month of July for what the city says is necessary routine maintenance in the pool area.

“This scheduled maintenance is routine work which needs to happen to ensure everything beneath the surface is operating efficiently, as well as address any required repairs identified since the reopening in February. This will include the repair and replacement of some tiles within and around the pool,” said James Will, director of the City of Medicine Hat’s parks & recreation department.

Will adds this type of work is always anticipated for the city’s indoor facilities and requires the pool to be drained in order to perform a proper inspection and repairs. He says that just like the annual shutdown of the Big Marble Go Centre in August, this work is best performed in the summer months when outdoor pools are open for the season.

The facility will reopen on Aug. 2.
