The Ruth Inch Memorial Pool is a bright, warm and welcoming place to exercise, learn (Red Cross and Lifesaving Society programs available), and play. The main pool beach access and hot tub lift allow accessibility for all abilities and ages. The steam room and whirlpool are the perfect place to relax after your workout or long day. The facility also has a large outdoor deck with a BBQ and picnic tables that overlooks Frame Lake, providing a premier rental opportunity for private functions! Some Amenities may be closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We take great pride in our clean, safe building and our friendly and qualified staff. We want to ensure that you have the best possible experience while you visit.
