Aquatic Centre at Hillcrest Park, home to Percy Norman Swim Club, opened its doors on August 1st, 2010, boasting a prime location near its former home at Percy Norman Pool. The facility showcases a leisure tank, a 50-meter lap pool, and an outdoor aquatic area, providing diverse aquatic experiences.
During the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, this building was repurposed as an athletes’ marshalling area, adding a touch of historical significance to the site. The 60,000 square feet (5,574 square meters) pool stands out with its striking solid wood roof supported by impressive Douglas-fir glulam beams, spanning up to 130 feet (43 meters) across the main pool area.
Embracing sustainability, the Aquatic Centre at Hillcrest Park was constructed to high environmental standards, aligning with the Vancouver Board of Parks' commitment to eco-conscious practices. Visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty and functionality of this aquatic haven while enjoying the impressive architectural elements that define its character.
