The newly renovated Kentville Memorial Pool is now open for the summer season, the Nova Scotia government announced.
The pool, which first opened in 1960, received $500,000 from the province to repair the facility, including a deck replacement, plumbing upgrades, waterproofing and resurfacing.
The improvements to the outdoor facility ensure the pool will be safe and inclusive for people of all ages, a news release from the province said.
'For 65 years, this pool has been a place for families, swimmers and neighbours to come together,' said John Lohr, minister of Finance and Treasury Board and MLA for Kings North. 'These upgrades will make sure the Kentville Memorial Pool remains a place where residents can stay active and connect with one another for years to come.'
The pool serves the Kings County area with public swims, swimming lessons and aquafit classes. It is also home to the Kentville Marlins swim team.
