Cambridge Recreation Complex

Every person using the aquatics facility will be required to change their clothes in a private change room. The locker area and pool entry/exit rinse off area are a common public space, visible to all patrons. There are 34 fully private lockable change rooms in the pool locker area and 8 fully private washrooms available for use in the pool area (28 for the entire building). 

An individual private change room is an exclusive lockable private space for users to access to change their clothes in private.  

Providing private individual spaces for changing clothes makes it easier for families and individuals to enjoy the facilities in a more welcoming and accessible environment. 

These spaces are inclusive of guests with disabilities, members of all gender identities, and people who are uncomfortable disrobing in front of others. These spaces can be used by all persons - regardless of gender.

For example: Two seniors of opposite genders, where one person requires mobility assistance from the other. 

Providing individual private change rooms promotes inclusivity by providing a space where everyone can feel comfortable and welcome while accessing recreational facilities. 

Under this design, no one visiting this facility will be naked or required to change in front of anyone else.

These private spaces have been designed with a higher standard of privacy than found in most gender-designated washrooms and change rooms to help achieve comfort, while creating openness in adjacent areas to promote safety and visibility. The change room walls extend from the floor, up to 8 feet high. 

The intent of the common locker area and private change rooms is to bring together families and help them enjoy time together and not be divided by gender. Everyone can access their own private changing space.

You must be fully dressed at all times in the open spaces of locker rooms. Nudity and undergarments are not permitted in shared spaces. Patrons must use private change rooms to disrobe/undress and change their clothing. The locker area and common spaces are shared by all users of the facility. Clothing or swimsuits are required in all areas outside of the private change room and washroom stalls.

The facility will have a regular cleaning schedule and staff will be trained to maintain cleanliness in the change rooms. Users are also encouraged to follow proper hygiene practices.

The change room can also be programmed so that one half of the space could be dedicated to school groups during those swim periods.

All public pools currently have rinse off shower areas. The pool deck rinse area is to be utilized by patrons who are using the pools - it is an opportunity to rinse before entering or after exiting the pool with your swimsuit on. Nudity is strictly prohibited here and a swimsuit must be worn.

The locker room has 4 individual private change rooms to accommodate people with limited mobility. Of these spaces , 2 are barrier free change rooms and 2 are change rooms. 

There will be ample signage, guidance and information available for all patrons using the space. 

Yes, the facility will have both indoor and outdoor pickleball courts. This facility was also designed to support para-pickleball play.
