It’s been a long six year wait, but residents of Grande Prairie can finally take a swim in the Bear Creek Outdoor Pool tomorrow.

The City of Grande Prairie has confirmed that the pool will be open to the public on Saturday, beginning at noon.

The news of the opening was first announced on Councillor Chris Thiessen’s Facebook page Friday morning.

“We are as happy as the rest of the community to see the Grande Prairie Outdoor Pool re-open this weekend,” said Mayor Bill Given, in a release. “Since 1964 it has been a place where summer memories have been made for many generations, and we are thrilled to now open up the newly renovated facility as we make the most of the end of summer, and continue to make it a landmark location for years to come.”
