selected four parks as Pollinator Parks: City Hall, Snell

and food sources. The City Hall park has installed

markers to indicate the gardens and a pollinator hotel

for insects to nest.

Trail Stops


KERRY WOOD NATURE CENTRE

All Natural AdventuresIt was a sunny Saturday afternoon and my son and I buckled up our rented snowshoes and headed out into the woods behind Kerry Wood Nature Centre. Always a favourite family stop, we have spent many fun hours visiting the small animals and displays in the nature centre and exploring the trails and the woodland of Waskasoo Park in every season. In winter we liked pretending we were trappers searching for animal tracks. In spring or summer we’d hide in the bird blind and be naturalists counting the different kinds of birds we saw in the Gaetz Lakes Sanctuary. Regardless of the season, it never feels like you are in the middle of a city when you visit this place.

Nature PlaygroundsChildren love walking along the trails in the sanctuary, participating in the naturalist programs at the nature centre and just being outdoors, but two new all-season outdoor nature playgrounds have made Kerry Wood Nature Centre even more fun. At the Nova Chemicals Imagination Grove, kids can climb on a giant spider web, slip inside a bear cave made from stone, walk on logs and learn about nature in an outdoor classroom. The Kiwanis Harmony Garden is an accessible interactive outdoor music park with wood and metal percussion instruments that allow children to share the joy of making musical sounds outside in nature.

Adventures for All Ages In Every Season

Whether you participate in a naturalist-led river rafting trip in the summer, join a guided snowshoe tour in winter or just explore on your own, Kerry Wood Nature Centre and Gaetz Lakes Sanctuary are a treat to tour in every season. Whatever your age, discover the power of nature to soothe your soul.

Alberta’s First Federal Migratory Bird SanctuaryRed Deer region has a very active group of local naturalists that first became organized in 1906. Through their efforts, the generosity of the J.J. Gaetz family who originally owned the land, 118 hectares of land was protected and in 1924 this land became Alberta’s first federal migratory bird sanctuary.

Despite its protected designation, there were many threats to the survival of the bird sanctuary over the years and Kerry Wood, a noted naturalist and writer, was its greatest champion, constantly working with other local naturalists to maintain and enhance the sanctuary. When the City built a nature centre at the edge the sanctuary, it was fitting that it be named Kerry Wood Nature Centre.

MAKING A SPLASH!Spray Parks & Pools

Blue Grass Sod Farms Central Spray & Play

Located in the heart of downtown (47A Avenue and 48 Street), Red Deer’s outdoor water park features spray, splash and play equipment with zones designed for different ages. From toddlers enjoying their first splash to rough and rumble 10 year olds, the 35 different interactive components promise to deliver cool refreshing family fun on hot summer days.

Centennial Park Plaza

When the temperature rises, this free spray fountain/wading pool at the west end of Alexander Way (48 St and 52 Ave) is a popular place to cool off and play in Red Deer’s vibrant downtown district.

Discovery Canyon

(Closed for reconstruction summer 2016.) On a hot summer day enjoy pools of water, a trickling stream and a spray pool at the bottom of the canyon.

Amenities include picnic tables and washrooms.

You can also enjoy working out in the fitness centre, skating or playing broom ball in the arena or enjoy a fitness class in the studio. For caregivers with young children, they will have a blast in the child minding area while you enjoy your workout time.

Michener Aquatic Centre

Water and fun are the abundant at the Michener Aquatic Centre (51A Street & 38 Ave). The facility boasts a six-lane, 25 metre indoor pool, a therapy/play pool, a separate dive tank with one and three metre diving boards.

l Alberta’s 4 Generations

of Tradional Farming

Central Alberta Communities

Central Alberta has agriculture at its backbone and many of the over 9,100 farms surrounding the city of Red Deer are found in Red County. Visitors are welcomed at many area farms where you can get eggs, honey, vegetables, fruits, meat, preserves, and cheese right from the farm gate or at a farmers’ market. Great agritourism attractions like U-Pick farms, corn mazes, sunflower mazes, greenhouses, antique shops and museums dot the peaceful countryside.

On a country drive you’ll discover rural attractions, historical sites, enjoy festivals and special events, and visit local farms to meet the producers and purchase food right from the farm gate. The list of participating producers and attractions is big, so you’ll want to download a map before you head out. countrydrive.ca

Red Deer County

Alberta’s largest non-mountain downhill ski resort is ten minutes east of The City of Red Deer in Red Deer County. There’s a snow tubing park, a terrain park and plenty of great runs to explore.

Town of Sylvan LakeAdventure awaits in this lakeside town that has become one of Alberta’s most popular beach and boating destinations. With a beautiful lakefront park, water sports rentals, golf courses, restaurants and many other amenities, Sylvan Lake has long been one of the top summer destinations in the province. But visitors shouldn’t restrict themselves to summer when it comes to this beachfront town. Sylvan Lake offers four full seasons of fun.

Fun in the Sun

Explore the 42.8 square km lake by renting a paddleboard, kayak, canoe or a motorboat. You can also try the new sport of flyboarding by renting a jet pack and personal watercraft that propels you up to 15 metres in the air. Nearby you’ll find surrey bike rentals, bumper cars and mini-golf.

Festivals and Events

There’s always something going on in Sylvan Lake and visitors can enjoy a host of wonderful festivals and events in every season.

Hit up a small town parade, midway and festival at 1913 Days in June or bundle up and enjoy the Santa Claus Parade and Yuletide Festival in late November. Participate in the End of Summer Regatta or Slide the City on a 1,000 foot outdoor slip and slide. The list goes on and on.

Winter Fun

Sylvan Lake is a natural wonder in every season. In winter, the lake has one of the longest outdoor skating tracks in North America and regularly hosts the winter speed skating marathon. Ice fishing is also popular and anglers vie for Northern Pike, Whitefish, Yellow Perch and Walleye.

Two Provincial Parks

There are two provincial parks near the town. Sylvan Lake Provincial Park covers 85 hectares and includes picnic tables and shelters, change houses, playgrounds and a pier.
