Queen Elizabeth Pool

The Queen Elizabeth Pool, located in the south side of the North Saskatchewan River valley in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, was the oldest municipal pool in Western Canada.^[1] The Edmonton Bulletin described the pool as “delightfully situated in what is generally recognized as the city’s most beautiful park."^[1]
