Alex Duff Pool

Absolutely loved this pool or shall I say pools! Great place to take the kids on a hot day. The only negative was that the waterslide was closed and the water in the deep end was cold compared to the other pools. The adjacent Christie Pit park has a splash pad, playground, and community edible garden. We parked easily on the street for free.

Great for kids. Water was warm when we went and it’s free so that helps. There is a nearby wading pool which is also good but slow to fill up in the morning.
The four separate tanks make it good for kids as you can keep track of them and 3 of the 4 are pretty shallow. Also, the family change rooms were pretty well setup. Also there is a good amount of shade on the deck.
The waterslide wasn’t working at the time of this review but they were working on fixing it up it seemed.

Playing on water slides is my version of an extreme sport, and in my hood you can participate in the x games for free. That’s right, Alex Duff is open until 8pm and it’s completely free.
This pool has a baby area, a winding shallow end, a deep end with a diving board and another shallow end that acts as the outpost for the best free water slide in all of the land. A tall, yellow winding water slide that can make a grown woman squeal with childish delight.
Beyond all of this, the deck is huge with equal parts shade and sun and a lovely mixture of families and adults. It’s far less busy than the pool at Bathurst and Dundas. Crap, I probably shouldn’t have written this review, but it’s OK, I’ll share…
