Parks
Over 100 parks to explore and enjoy
St. Albert's 112 parks are a mix of open space for connecting with nature, relaxing with friends and family, working out on outdoor fitness equipment, exploring playgrounds and much more! Many of these parks feature accessible options and amenities, allowing everyone to participate.
River Use Etiquette
- Any boat launch is at the mercy of fluctuating water levels where access in and out can be challenging if the levels are too high or too low.
- Repeated access and egress from the river results in damage to riparian vegetation and causes soil compaction, erosion and weed growth. Maintaining specific launch areas (pre-existing boat launches) minimizes the damage and prevents sediment loading into the river, which is harmful to fish.
- Boats should be carried in and out of the water when possible rather than dragging along the grassy areas
- Many migratory birds build nests in vegetation next to the river and they must be given room, or they may abandon their nests and their young. Nesting birds should not be harassed while users are on the water.
- Users/operators are responsible for cleaning, draining and drying their equipment (with environmentally safe products, or offsite), including paddles and life jackets, to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species and whirling disease from one waterbody to the next.
