Residents of Clarington who frequently utilize the Diane Hamre Recreation Complex for leisure and exercise are hereby advised that the facility’s popular waterslide is currently out of service. This operational change has been promptly implemented due to a confirmed leak detected within the internal water supply system, which requires immediate maintenance to ensure the ongoing safety and structural integrity of the infrastructure. The closure impacts the complex located in the heart of Bowmanville, necessitating the temporary suspension of this specific recreational activity while technical assessments and comprehensive repairs are conducted by municipal staff and engineering teams.
At present, the municipality is unable to confirm a specific timeline for when the waterslide might return to full operation. Staff are working diligently to assess the severity of the leak and resolve the matter as quickly and efficiently as possible. The complexity of repairing internal water supply systems can vary significantly depending on the nature of the damage, and the primary goal remains ensuring that all repairs are completed thoroughly and safely before the amenity is reopened to the public. This cautious approach is intended to prevent further disruptions or safety concerns once the feature is back in use.
