LIONS PARK REVIEWS

This Park is located in St. Albert. It's a great place , as there are many sports related arenas along this area and the Park itself is a great place for outdoor activities. I noticed many people utilise the beautiful and calm grounds for walking or to run in groups. There were a number of people with pets on leash exercising or just taking their pets for a walk.The park grounds have ample free parking space . There is an Aviation building besides the parking as well as a Curling center.

Can be busy as it is awesome. Can skate in the winter. Body weight outdoor circuit. Lots of events are hosted in the area. Playground: Kids will love it. Something for all ages. Restrooms: Kept clean. Dog-friendliness: Keep on leash but big open areas. Picnic area: Sheltered.

Was at the July 1st movie night with grand daughter. Nice playground equipment .Close to Sturgeon river. Great place to walk along trails. Lots of birds around, also close to downtown area.

RIEL RECREATION PARK REVIEWS

Loved the Borealis Light display. The lineup is long , but that's expected. If you want it to be faster , make sure you buy your tickets online before getting there. Be ready to be in your car for approx 2 hrs. Definitely worth it. Great experience.

It's always a good day to visit the boardwalk and viewpoint overlooking Big Lake. Rain or shine, there's beauty here. Bring a camera and bird seeds if you want to leave a treat for the birds.

Nice place for a walk picnic tables and bbq s available. access to sturgeon river for kayaking ect. We'll kept soccer fields.

RED WILLOW PARK REVIEWS

I don't have pic to add but I love this little spot along the hiway. Have stopped here now 4 times I'm the last 6 months with pups in training or transport. We always meet someone and their beautiful kids. The last time I stopped infact I met such friendly little girl I named my friendly little cockapoo after her. The park is a perfect stop to let your kids or dog out to run around, stretch your legs, have a picnic or soak up some sun and fresh air. Fall colors were beautiful and it's got an outside Biffy now that's pretty handy for those needing to make a quick pit stop.

This is my go to Sunday walk, grab a Starbucks coffee and hit the trail. There are bathrooms along the pathways so if you need it they are available. The path is paved and easy to walk. You are not walking on grassy trails so you are not stirring up mosquitos.

You never know what you might run into along these beautiful trails. Kilometers of paved and maintained trails, off leash access. Park behind Canadian Tire.
