    Beautiful recreation park with lots of trails and things to see. Located in the heart of Red Deer and yet still filled with nature - ponds, plants, trees, geese, deer. Ice skating on the ponds in the winter. Trails are paved and great for pedestrians and bicyclists. Trails extend from Taylor Drive bridge overpass all the way west to Heritage Ranch.

    You have the option of taking the longer perimeter trail or you can simply walk out to the bird observation deck. The scenery is beautiful all around. Also the information in the visitor centre is well organized and interesting.

    Great fun for families young and old. The grounds are clean. Water is also clean. Lazy river going down easy rapids. The playground is new and very different from the usual play structure. Washroom facilities available. Great place. All we need is more hot weather!

    Excellent food and a great atmosphere. The scones are so delicious and the turkey soup was excellent. Very reasonably priced. Beautiful place and a great chef.

    This was a great place to visit in Red Deer. Lots of buildings to check out as well as a few animals. Met a volunteer in the parking lot who was super kind and told us what to expect. She mentioned to go in and get information from the office. We did that but the lady working there was not as happy to see us. Very nice place to visit for free. They ask for donations and definitely worth giving one.

    Lots of lovely flowers, picnic tables and trees. Beautifully maintained. We spent about an hour strolling around the grounds. There are free two hour parking spots on adjacent streets.

    I took my two young boys (2 & 5), there for a morning. They loved the games and activities. My 5 year old could have spent all day playing the old video games. My 2 year old had a shorter attention span but didn't run out of displays to interact with. Its definitely worth a visit.

    I see all the reviews saying this is a great place to take your dogs, and while yes that is true, you should also check what the algae is like before taking your dog there. They get blue-green algae, which can be toxic/fatal for your dog. So be smart. Make sure the water is clean. Look it up online before letting your dog swim or drink from there.

    Small exhibit little Museum Fort TP, overlooking the river. I’m sure and watch the video and actually explain the process a little bit museum itself is free although you can make a donation overall probably a half hour to 45 minute stretch break and walk around.

    There are lots of trails and two parks. It's a nice place to go during autumn and fall or the summer. Get out of your house for a bit :)

    This is a very central picnic area and easy walk from central hotels. There are lots of tables, good parking and a picnic shelter. This park connects to the rest of the trail system, so could be a start for a longer hike. There is also a playground.

    The surprise for this place was the hike up "Piper Mountain". It isn't obvious from the ground, but there is a switchback climb up to the top of a hill which gives you a good viewpoint over part of the downtown. There are old growth spruces and lots of saskatoon bushes and mountain ash trees on the way up. As you climb, you can look into the higher tree branches and see more of the birdlife in the tree tops.

    A great museum to visit by donation. Close to the Norwegian Museum. Lots of interesting information about Red deer. Well laid out.

    We had a birthday party with 10 people and it was a blast! Definitely going back for another fun evening. Even though we had some guests show up a bit late, we were still able to play for the full time we paid for. The price is worth it and it's a fun way to get exercise. Wasn't expecting the amount of soreness and exercise but we would do it all over again. Combat archery is a fantastic team building game.
