Guided by extensive community feedback and ongoing technical analysis, the City of Fort St. John has developed an initial concept scope for the new North Peace Leisure Pool aquatic facility.

Residents have consistently emphasized the need for a space that supports all ages and user groups, including families, seniors, recreational swimmers, and sports organizations alike.

Per a press release by the City of Fort St John, community-identified priority amenities in Phase 1 of the concept include lap and leisure pools with accessible entries, a hot pool, sauna and steam room, a waterslide and splash pad, an indoor fieldhouse, and shared lobby and support spaces.

Phase 2 would include an outdoor turf field and gymnasium spaces.

The City of Fort St. John is building on years of public input and foundational studies to move forward with renewed focus and a shared goal of creating a modern, functional, and inclusive aquatics facility that serves the community now and well into the future.
