Lion's Pool in Stratford, owned and operated by the City of Stratford, offers a range of swimming programs and activities during the summer season, from June to the end of August. The pool is supervised by trained instructors and lifeguards to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors. The swimming programs cater to individuals of all ages and skill levels, with lessons and public swim sessions available.
The history of Lion's Pool dates back to 1932 when the Lions Club of Stratford recognized the need for a community swimming facility. Over the years, the pool underwent several renovations and expansions to meet the changing needs of the community. In 2007, a major redevelopment project transformed the pool into a modern facility with two multi-use pools one for leisure and water-play features and another for lap swimming.
The goal of the redevelopment was to provide a family-friendly space that offers a variety of swimming and physical activities for people of all ages. The design allows for multiple activities to take place simultaneously, enhancing the overall experience for visitors. The pool has become a popular destination for swimming lessons and recreational swim sessions.
Today, the City of Stratford continues to operate Lion's Pool, maintaining its legacy as a community hub for aquatic activities.
