Newton Wave Pool stories, photos wanted ahead of 40th year<\/p>\n

Published 5:00 pm Saturday, May 2, 2026<\/p>\n

Have a favourite memory of Newton Wave Pool?<\/p>\n

Share yours to celebrate the pool\u2019s 40th anniversary in 2027.<\/p>\n

The only wave pool in Surrey, the pool at Newton Recreation Centre was a very big deal when it opened in 1987.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom swim lessons and birthday parties to family traditions, we\u2019re inviting the community to share the stories that made this place special,\u201d says a post on Recreation Surrey\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n

The website surrey.ca\/newtonpool<\/a> has been created as a portal for Newton Wave Pool memories and photos.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you meet someone important here? Celebrate a milestone? Return years later with your own children? However big or small, your memories help tell the story of what Newton Wave Pool has meant to our community,\u201d the website says.<\/p>\n

Submissions may be featured in City of Surrey communications including online content, social media and materials celebrating upcoming milestones. \u201cNot all submissions will be published, but every story helps shape how we honour the past and look to the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newton Wave Pool features water slides, a fortress structure with cannons and jets, tot pool, hot tub and steam room.<\/p>\n

In four years the facility will compete for pool-goers with a 50-metre swimming pool planned at Newton Community Centre, a $310-million project to be built south of Newton Arena.<\/p>\n

Back in March 2022, Newton\u2019s wave pool reopened<\/a> after a two-year closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newton Wave Pool stories, photos wanted ahead of 40th year Published 5:00 pm Saturday, May 2, 2026 Have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":644128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-644127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=644127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/644128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=644127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=644127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=644127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
