The waterslide in the leisure swimming pool at Lakewood Civic Centre is now up and running, and ready for the public to enjoy! 

The waterslide had been closed for repairs for several months as a result of ground movement issues in the mechanical crawlspace affecting the pump that supplies water to the slide.  All necessary repairs have now been completed.

The City of Saskatoon sincerely thanks the public for their patience and understanding, and would like to invite everyone to enjoy free access to celebrate the reopening of the waterslide on Saturday, April 11, from 1 to 5 p.m.  During this time, no admission fee will be required to public swim, access the fitness or weight rooms, or take part in drop-in basketball.

For more information, call Lakewood Civic Centre at 306-975-2944 or visit www.saskatoon.ca/lakewood.
