Court Details

About this court

Volunteer Pool is a well-regarded public aquatic facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, situated at 180 Martha Street and operating on a pay-to-play basis. Holding a 4.5-star Google rating across 154 reviews, the venue is in good condition and equipped with a salt water pool, hot tub, sauna, showers, locker rooms, food and drinks, and water amenities — making it a full-service destination for community recreation. Weekday hours run in split sessions, with morning access beginning at 6:00 AM most days and evening slots extending to 9:00 PM Monday through Thursday. Weekend hours are more limited, with Saturday offering two windows and Sunday open from 2:00–5:00 PM. Lessons are available on-site, and the kid-friendly designation is reinforced by the facility's family change rooms and birthday party programming. Visitors frequently note the salt water pool's comfort advantage — no lingering chlorine odor — along with clean change rooms and warm water temperatures suited to young swimmers. The hot tub and sauna are popular enough that they can fill during peak times, though reviewers suggest rotating in as space opens. Staff responsiveness and the facility's accessible price point are recurring positives mentioned across reviews.
