CANADA’S MOST ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE POOL
REPLACEMENT OF WASCANA POOL IN REGINA
In October 2023, Wascana Pool reopened, replacing an outdated 72-year-old facilitiy with a destination pool that provides an iconic social experience and promotes fitness, fun, wellness, and safety for everyone. Located in Wascana Park, in the heart of Regina, the capital city of Saskatchewan province, the new pool aims to be Canada’s most accessible and inclusive. It was a design collaboration between P3A Partnership and interdisciplinary firm, hcma architecture + design. Community consultation was an important part of the design process and included extensive public and stakeholder group engagement to develop consensus around key programmatic decisions that guided the design of the pool facility.
