Due to poor air quality caused by wildfire smoke, the Anchor Bay Aquatic Center will be closed on July 16-17.
Our pool's ventilation system relies on outside air to regulate humidity. In the best interest of the health and well-being of our staff and patrons, we have made the decision to close the center during this period of reduced air quality.
We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience. We look forward to welcoming everyone back as soon as conditions improve.
