Saanich Commonwealth Place

The three-decade-old waterslide at Saanich Commonwealth Place will remain closed until it can be replaced by another one next year.

It has not been in use since September 2023.

The waterslide was built in 1993 — when the Royal Oak-area recreation complex was built for the 1994 Commonwealth Games — and has reached the end of its lifespan, the District of Saanich said Friday.

“After reviewing information from engineers and the manufacturer, the district has determined that replacing the waterslide is necessary and will be releasing a request for proposals to procure a new slide later this month,” the district said.
