Fowler Athletic Park
Fowler Athletic Park is an ideal spot for athletes to practice track and field events such as long jump, high jump and hammer/discus throw. The refurbished track is also a prime location for runners training for short or long-distance events, and it's great for anyone wanting to exercise outdoors.
Fowler Athletic Park is named after former St. Albert Mayor, Richard S. Fowler, and opened in 1979 as part of the Alberta Summer Games. It is a municipal facility that is included under a joint-use agreement, which means the facility is used by schools, local organizations, and the general public. It is also the home of the St. Albert Track and Field Club.
