A new aquatic entertainment facility at Petticoat Creek Conservation Area is under construction. This will replace the existing 35 year old swimming pool that has been a fixture in the Pickering community. Visit the TRCA website for updates and contact information.
The overall development will include a state-of-the-art 3200 square metre wading pool and swimming area with a 750-person capacity, and a splash pad with interactive water features. The facility will use sustainable technologies to power pool equipment and heat the water for an enjoyable swimming experience.

- Cycling, walking and running along the waterfront trail
- Picnicking for families and corporate events
- Exploration of a wide array of flora and fauna
