Lacombe Lake Park

Blue Green Algae Notice: There’s currently blue-green algae present in the water at Lacombe Lake. It’s very toxic, so please keep children, dogs and other pets away.
The City is monitoring the situation but unfortunately, it can’t be removed from the lake. Access is suspended until further notice and the dog beach gate is closed.
