MacPherson outdoor pool is currently closed for the season. Check back next spring for our 2025 opening date!
Situated in Lewarne Park (formerly MacPherson Park), this heated outdoor pool is a favourite spot in south Burnaby.
Reminder: Swim lessons run rain or shine at outdoor pools.
Well-trained lifeguards and swim instructors are in high demand.
If you are a Burnaby resident, you can register for swimming lessons 30 days in advance of the start date. General registration opens 27 days in advance. This will provide more opportunities for swimming lesson registrations.
