Details:Located within Fish Creek Provincial Park, Sikome Aquatic Facility (Sikome) is an artificial waterbody that welcomes approximately 100,00 visitors annually. Operated seasonally for the summer months, Sikome serves as an outdoor public swimming and recreational area.
Sikome originally opened to visitors in the late 1970s, and had not undergone major renovations since its initial construction. Recognizing the importance of providing Albertans with access to parks and opens spaces that support health and well-being, planning for building modernization began in 2024. Major construction activities for building refurbishment occurred December 2025 to June 2026, and the facility has now been fully renovated and is open to the public.
Sikome is open for the season as of June 29, following major facility upgrades and building renovations. While the majority of work is now complete and the facility is fully operational, visitors may notice some minor construction activity as final elements of the project are completed. During this time, select areas may be temporarily closed on an as-needed basis. Visitors may experience minor service disruptions or occasional noise. Although buildings in the south area of the facility are currently closed in support of construction completion, washroom facilities remain available in the north.
We appreciate your patience, as this work is necessary to ensure visitor safety and support construction completion. Please abide by all posted signage, do not approach construction equipment and do not cross construction barriers.
