    Idc wat anyone says. That was the best accident anyone could have expierenced im this city of ours…read more A beach smack dab in the middle of our river right near the downtown core. Life was very grande with that occurrence. My kids loved it, was am easy after skool trip during the week . i have zero complaints at all. I do wonder is it still there? Can we still go there?

    Glad I was able to check out this potentially temporary beach! We missed the main entrance but we…read morefound a secondary one that isn't as easy to use but it did the trick. We ended up on the eastern end of the beach. The sand is quite nice around there. I saw some people had a volleyball net set up and once you comb the same for rocks and branches it was perfect for volleyball. The day we went was really windy so playing would be somewhat difficult. In the middle of the beach there's a rocky section which had more litter then other areas. I saw a family picking up some litter to keep the 'park' as clean as possible. I also saw some rock gardens previous beachcombers had created including a cluster in inukshuks that mimicked the city scape behind it. Close to the main entrance to the beach (the carved out stairs) there is a really nice sandy beach. The sand is quite fine grain that it packs hard but is still really nice on the feet. It's also raised from the river but it's closest to the construction dam that allowed this beach to exist. Now regarding the water... the rivers edge appeared to be clean and the water was quite nice but I've heard without a lot of rain recently there could be some unappealing bacteria in the water. There was a section of still water that had come off the river and it definitely had an odor that told you not to go there.

    Beautiful park near the city. Serene lake with lots of birds, trees and a nice calm lake, even has…read morea boat launch with kayaker and paddleboarders on the lake every weekend! This place is so serene and peaceful. So romantic, I have newly discovered this place because of someone I recently met who appreciates little things like nature and serenity. The place is so beautiful I can't help but get in a lovey dovey mood whenever I'm here. It's so quiet and it's the perfect place for a quiet evening with a date or loved one. Sometimes we have the entire park to ourselves and don't see any humans for hours. And that is just PERFECT! It's a hidden gem, so close to the city of st albert and even a closer drive from edmonton. There are some beautiful paths along the lake for romantic walks at sunset. You could easily spend an hour or two here and forget how life can get get so crazy. A perfect way to slow down and spend time with someone on a intimate level or just to enjoy the beautiful scenery on you're own. Either way. This place is my new to go date place, and I just love going here. My other half got me hooked on this place and we have been going three times a week. A perfect place for a picnic or a drink or a walk. And luckily if u run out of food and have the munchies. The greenhouse is across the street for a perfect glass of wine or snack to end the perfect night out. It's those little things that make you appreciate nature and all its beauty. This place is captivating and I can't help but fall in love here!
