About

Ladner Leisure Centre offers a welcoming public pool facility perfect for families visiting North Delta.

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Visit during weekday mornings (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM) to avoid after-school and evening crowds when local kids arrive
  2. 2.Bring Canadian coins for the lockers, as they typically require a loonie ($1 coin) deposit
  3. 3.Check the facility's website for family swim times before visiting, as lane swimming and adult-only sessions may restrict pool access
  4. 4.Pack swim diapers for toddlers as they are required for young children in the pool
  5. 5.Arrive 15-20 minutes early to allow time for changing and showering, which is mandatory before pool entry in Canadian facilities

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings between 9:00 AM and noon offer the quietest swim times. Avoid visiting right after school hours (3:30-6:00 PM) and weekend afternoons when local families pack the pools. Summer months see increased traffic from kids out of school.

What to Know

Drop-in admission fees typically range from $5-8 CAD per child and $7-10 CAD per adult (cash and card accepted). Free parking is available on-site. No food is allowed in the pool area, but there may be vending machines in the lobby. The facility is wheelchair accessible.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round as an indoor facility. Summer months (June through August) tend to be busier with children out of school. The pool may have reduced hours or closures during major Canadian holidays like Canada Day (July 1) and Christmas week, so check ahead.

Nearby Eats

Ladner Village, just a few minutes away, offers several family-friendly options including White Spot (a beloved BC family restaurant chain with a kids menu) and various casual pizza and burger spots along Ladner Trunk Road that welcome families.
