Your community.
Your aquatic centre.
Dive into the future of aquatics in Golden and Electoral Area A.
Making it real!
We’ve always been guided by the community’s vision and commitment to achieving year-round aquatics in Golden. So, when recent costings came in higher than expected, we turned to the Community Advisory Committee to brainstorm how best to proceed.
Together, we’ve developed a three-phase plan to deliver on our community vision. Subject to funding, we’re on track for a base facility to open in 2026, with additional features to follow.

The future indoor aquatic centre will be funded through a capital loan, federal and provincial grants, sponsorships, and donations from people just like you. We’re actively fundraising for the new facility and taking donations from community members. Big or small, every dollar counts.

Why I support the future aquatic centre!
In their own words, here's what these community members have to say about this project and why you should contribute.
Make a DonationAn indoor pool will provide a year-round opportunity for people to stay active. The winters are long and many people struggle to find ways of exercising when it is cold outside. A pool will provide an inclusive space for people young and old and of diverse abilities. Senior citizens, in praticular, will benefit from having a non-weight bearing activity. This will greatly improve the health and wellness of our community and visitors.
