Municipality of French River

Opening Day: Saturday, June 1, 2024!

Feel the rush of a plunge down the 133-foot waterslide or stay cool while splashing with the kids among the spray columns, water geysers, water cannons and a jumbo spraying sunflower. Plunge off of the diving board, or swim lengths in the Junior Olympic sized pool. 

Located in the Altona Centennial Park amidst baseball diamonds, a campground, a playground, frisbee golf, picnic shelters, and more... the Altona Aquatic Centre is the perfect place to spend a day in the sun!
