The decision

2023-10-11 · Toronto City Council · adopted

As filed

City Council on October 11 and 12, 2023, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the Mayor to consider including the necessary budget to support late night swimming at Heron Park Outdoor Pool and the installation of lighting in proposing the 2024 Budget for Parks, Forestry and Recreation, in consultation with the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and the General Manager, Parks Forestry and Recreation.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Located at 292 Manse Road, Scarborough, Heron Park Outdoor Pool currently closes at 8:00 p.m., not allowing for public night swimming. The outdoor pool is very popular with the surrounding community of single-family homes, high-rises, and townhouses. Addressing a community need by adding the necessary supports to allow for night swimming would benefit the community as a whole and enhance services offered by this existing city asset.

The closest outdoor pool with extended hours, allowing for night swimming, is located at McGregor Park Outdoor Pool, within a two-hour walking distance or thirty-five minutes by public transit. I hope I can count on your collaboration in improving this existing city asset and addressing the needs of the local community.
