Bringing the Outside In - Hillcrest Aquatic Centre Showcases the Beauty of Wood
naturallywood.com
The Hillcrest Aquatic Centre forms part of the new Riley Park Community Centre in Vancouver's Hillcrest Park. During the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, the Community Centre served as the venue for curling events, while the pool building was a marshalling area for athletes.
The Aquatic Centre features a solid wood roof supported on Douglas-fir glulam beams that span up to 130 ft (43 m) across the main pool area in keeping with the Vancouver Board of Parks' ongoing commitment to sustainability, this facility was built to high environmental standards, targeting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Gold standard.

The Vancouver Park Board is considering the replacement of the Vancouver Aquatic Centre with a City-wide Destination pool with increased health and wellness focus, with co-located outdoor amenities. Following the relocation of sport training and hosting capacity to the new City-wide Destination pool at Connaught Park, consider shifting the focus of the renewed VAC facility to a greater emphasis on therapeutic and wellness uses, in addition to typical swimming experiences.
