3 Best Hiking Trails in Red Deer, AB

Always a good choice, lots of wildlife and birds to see. The kids absolutely love it here. The harmony playground is great different structures can be used to make sounds, there's also a slide. Wishhart Trail is great but be prepared it's about 4 or 5 k long, I wouldn't suggest taking this trail with a stroller or anything but it could be doable if you have good wheels on your stroller. Plenty of boardwalks to check out. And lots of signs telling you about the plants, animals, insects, and history of the area. In summer definitely bring bug spray and water. Also in summer they do a goat run, where they heard goats down the trail, the kids love to watch them running. There's also an information center with a gift shop and bathrooms. They do lots of cool nature learning activities that you can sign up for.

This is a great place to go out on the blind over the wetland area (accessible) or walk through the woods (small accessible loop and the longer loop has stairs and dirt for the path). The longer loop has further viewing areas to stop at and there are interpretation signs throughout the sanctuary. There is a wonderful playground near the interpretation centre as well as washrooms. Staff are always great here too.

A very special piece of nature amidst the bustling city. Nice, well maintained walking trails, cool lookouts and wooden paths, and benches interspersed at different intervals in case you need a rest. Lots of cool wildlife to be seen!.

Beautiful little park. Picnic tables and bathrooms available. There is a concession available too. Availability to rent paddle boats and inflatable ball. Geese around so watch put for poop everywhere. If you have a little one and your potty training it's a hike to go back and forth to the playground and bathrooms in time. The playground is very nice with a soft landing pad afoot.

Great Chief Park and Bower Ponds is probably the most well know and popular park in Red Deer. Skate on the pond during winter, peddle boat on in the summer. Walking paths in great condition, and a very well looked after playground. Just a great park if you want to go for a walk and not spend forever getting there or walking.

Beautiful ball park to watch the Red Deer Riggers play! It was the first time I have ever seen them play. I will definitely be going back next to watch.. The over all park is excellent!.
