Kinsmen Aquatic Park reopens at Big Marble Go Centre, outdoor facilities closed for the season

Sep 25, 2026 | 8:20 AM

Medicine Hat’s Kinsmen Aquatic Park reopened Friday after completion of its annual maintenance ahead of schedule.

The pools at the Big Marble Go Centre had closed following the 2026 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in mid-August.

The City’s indoor pool at the Crestwood Recreation Centre remains open.

Hill Pool closed for the season on Thursday.

Strathcona Pool and all City spray parks had also closed earlier for the season.

The Echo Dale Swim Lake had been drained in mid-June after a drowning that claimed the life of an 11-year-old Medicine Hat boy.

An independent review of the drowning began on July 2, with a report expected back by the end of August.

The details of that report have not been disclosed publicly.
