It will feature a dedicated family/disabled accessible room as well as two additional family-focused rooms, one being a washroom and the other a change room. The exterior of the facility will feature three showers that can be used to rinse off sand after enjoying Millennium’s natural swimming ponds.
Construction will begin Monday, September 28 and is expected to be complete by spring 2021.
Millennium Park & Ponds covers a 23-hectare area on the beautiful sandy shores of the Columbia River near Castlegar’s downtown core and is a popular attraction for both residents and visitors.
One of the City’s strategic priorities is to create special places and recreation for everyone. As part of creating special places, the City is committed to building on its recreation assets, both built and natural, to provide recreational and cultural services.
