Castlegar Complex Dry Arena Floor and Pool to Close for Improvements in Summer of 2026
By Regional District of Central Kootenay
The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) will be completing important maintenance projects at the Castlegar & District Community Complex in 2026. To complete the work needed, the dry arena floor and pool will each have extended scheduled closures.
Closure Schedule:
- Dry Arena Floor: April 27 to August 10, 2026
- Brief reopening June 10–14 for graduation events.
- Ice making begins August 11.
- Pool: August 1 to September 13, 2026
- Reopening September 14.
The dry arena floor will be closed so a low-emissivity ceiling can be installed, and insulation work can be completed in the attic above. This will lead to energy efficiency and extend the life of the arena roof. In the pool, annual maintenance will take place alongside the next phase of the roof replacement project, which includes interior work that must be completed while the pool is closed.
“Maintaining our assets through regular maintenance and timely capital improvements, ensures they remain safe, efficient, and reliable for our community,” said Craig Stanley, Regional Manager – Operations & Asset Management. “We understand the temporary closures may cause disruption, and we are thankful for the community’s patience as we work to ensure the facility continues to serve residents well into the future.”
Local user groups, including swim clubs and lacrosse organizations, have been informed of the upcoming summer closures. The RDCK encourages users to plan ahead when purchasing memberships, as both areas will be fully closed for the durations noted.
