Lawn Bowling Green Now Open
at Brennan Park Recreation Centre
Get ready to roll! The upgraded lawn bowling green is now open and is ready to host local bowlers again. Located in the Eaglewind neighbourhood just behind the 55 Activity Centre, the upgrades were made possible thanks to a $39,000 contribution from The Squamish 55+ Community Society.
The facility is accessible to all ages, and rental equipment will be available at The 55+ Activity Centre during operational hours.

Annual Pool Shutdown
September 9-24 at Brennan Park Recreation Centre
The Brennan Park Recreation Centre annual pool shutdown will begin on Wednesday, September 9 and continue through Thursday, September 24.

Aquatic programs will resume Friday, September 25.
Update on Fall Swimming Lessons and Pool Schedule
at Brennan Park Recreation Centre
The District is currently experiencing a shortage of aquatics positions in our Recreation and Culture department, in particular supervisory lifeguards and swimming instructors. These positions are required to meet pool regulation guidelines and to ensure safe operations for the community.
Status of Fall Swimming Lessons:
While we are working hard to fill these positions, swimming lessons will not be initially offered this fall, and the pool will be operating with reduced hours following the pool's annual maintenance on September 25.
Temporary Reduced Pool Hours as of September 25:
- Monday: Closed
- Tuesday to Friday: 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
- Saturday: 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- Sunday: Closed
Lifeguarding shortages are not a new issue for the District, and continue to be a broader systemic challenge for aquatic operators. We are actively reviewing and implementing strategies and opportunities towards solutions.
We understand the impact this reduction in operating hours has on the community. The reduced schedule has been carefully reviewed to minimize impacts to all users as best as possible (public, lessons and user groups).
As we onboard more staff and build our capacity, we will regularly reassess where we can expand our offerings to increase swimming lesson delivery and operating hours back to normal levels. Ultimately our goal is to ensure safe and sustainable pool operations for the community.
We appreciate your patience during this period of time. Visit squamish.ca/rec for updates
