Neighbourhood kids won't be able to play at the Bowness Park wading pool this summer.

The City of Calgary has closed the pool, located in the 8900 block of 48 Ave. N.W., to complete some necessary repairs.

According to a Thursday tweet, the wading pool will be closed for the entirety of the 2023 season.

"Sorry we can't splash into summer – but safety first," said the city.

There are two other city-operated wading pools in Calgary:

There are also seven city-owned spray parks and eight outdoor pools.
