Greenaway Pool has had water in it since before the May long weekend. It's been looking nice and clean but nobody is swimming in it. I walked up there a few days ago to see if the hours are posted, but sticking with how they usually do it, no signage for operating hours. It's always hit and miss even with posted hours, most of the time Greenaway Pool doesn't stick with them. It might have to do with difficulty getting lifeguards out to tend to the pool.
According to the City of Surrey's website Greenaway Pool's hours are all over the place. In one section the city claims Greenaway Pool will be open from June 11 to September 3, 2013. I was there about one week ago and there was a wet towel sitting on the sidewalk next to the pool fence. I don't know if that means the pool was open or some kid climbed the fence and went for a swim.
The City of Surrey says the hours from June 10 (what happened to June 11?) to June 28, 2013 at Greenaway Pool will be:
Monday to Friday: 3pm to 4pm and 6pm to 7:30pm
Saturdays: 1:30pm to 3pm, 3:30pm to 5pm, and 5:30 to 7pm
Sundays: 1:30pm to 3pm and 3:30pm to 5pm
I don't know why the City of Surrey doesn't show the hours for July and August but I can't imagine they'll be much different. During the mornings there will likely be swimming lessons, schedule unknown, and they'll carry on with the public swim times late afternoon and early evening.
Swimming at the pool is free. If the pool hits maximum capacity the lifeguards limit swims to 30 minutes. They clear the pool after 30 minutes and the people in the line up get in for the next half hour swim.
