Summer in the city can be hot and sticky, so finding the nearest place to cool off without driving across town is always helpful.

Here’s a map of the City of Montreal’s full list of 331 outdoor public pools, wading pools and splash pads across the island.

Whether you’re after a quick splash pad fix on a hot afternoon, a shallow wading pool for younger kids, or a full outdoor pool, use the map below to find the closest option to you. Pins are colour-coded by facility type.

Note that outdoor pools typically have set hours and may require registration for some programs, so it’s worth checking with your local borough before heading out.
