    Haven't been for a while. But a nice park to visit. Lots to do, often we go for a drive, and find a nice place to hike/ walk.

    This place is pretty amazing! It is so big! It has…read moremultiple playground features that would accommodate any child age group. The age suggestions for each structure is marked. There are traditional swings and slides. There is sand. There is also an impressive spray park. It will be a new favorite of ours. Easy to find parking. There were bathrooms available but quite far away. I could not see any water fountains near by. Why not 5 stars? It is so big that I had a tough time keeping track of my little kids. My radar isn't fast enough. When they get older then I can see this being perfect. Also, not much to do with your child if your child isn't good with walking.

    Strathcona County has been trying really hard to make Festival Place the 'centre of the park' but…read morethey have fell flat with that idea. BUT when it comes to green space and outdoor activities, they have excelled in making this area great for everyone. The redevelopment of the park is no exception. Before the renovation, this park was 'meh' at best. Too much sand, old wooden playground sets, swings...the typical stuff you would expect to see. But after a year-long renovation this park has become a hot spot for kids and parents. Just take a look at the pictures I posted! This place is amazing. Makes me wish I was 4 foot 1 again! The spray park area is awesome! Slides, water diversion trenches and tons of fountains. Then you move into the rock area which is als as awesome. Then as you pan right some more you have this rope tower mountain that looks like something Spiderman would have webbed for a bad guy. Once you get to the top of this 3 storey structure, you fly down a tube slide that makes kids scared. LOL And it doesn't end there. Now you have this cool park area with multiple slides, climbing areas and other stuff. Then when you thought you had enough, venture on their pirate ship and THEN finish off on a swing....*panting*...ya if your kids don't get wiped out from a day here, there is something wrong with them. What makes this park even better is that the surface is completely cushioned. No sand! The only things I do not like about this place - the public bathroom is locatesd in the ice rink north of the park. SIgns are terrible but there is a bathroom somewhat close by. Secondly, there needs to be a coffee kiosk on site. Ice cream is represented, coffee...nope. So take your kids here! Bring a cooler, drinks, blankets, food. You can have a fantastic afternoon with your children at this park.

    Chickakoo Lake is such a gem! I visited here in a warm weekday afternoon in the fall and had a…read morewonderful time exploring the trails. There's a large parking lot for day hikers and picnickers, with clean washrooms and a some picnic table sites right on the water. There are a number of trail loops, all with fantastic signage and maps at every trail junction. Trails are ranked according to difficulty, with the advanced trail presenting some serious up and down hills to get your legs burning. The less hilly trails are great for families, and there are different lengths of trails depending on how much time you want to spend. The views of the different wetland areas along the trails were really beautiful, and we were even able to see a moose across one of the water bodies taking a drink. We loved hiking here for a couple of hours, and I saw some runners tackling the trails and hills - good for them!

    How has no one written a review of Chickakoo lake yet?! This is an amazing multi use area just west…read moreof Edmonton. It has great trails of various lengths for walking, running, biking (off road trail use) and in the winter snowshoeing and some tracks for cross country skiing. You can also bring your horses here to trail ride as well. Keep in mind as I said multi use. They have information boards about local wildlife and plant life and boards throughout pin pointing where the trails are and their difficulty ratings. There is a lake you can fish in or just canoe or kayak on. Also available are above ground fire stands you can BBQ on. There is a playground for the kiddies and picnic tables available. Ample parking, camp ground style bathroom facilities as well. It's worth checking out anytime of year!

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.

    Camping is a hit or miss. You'll either get good campers beside you and a good weather or opposite…read moreor worst opposite of both. Booking was alright but limited since most people book way early and for next year, the website shows pics of booking spots which is nice to see but not usually as accurate when arriving to camp spot. Luckily when I went it was funtastic, hot weather with cool winds, camp spot was alright but more rocky then grassy for my tent placement selection. However, I brought enough gear which I prepared for camping such as a hammock, bbq utensils, disposable dishes, cups, food and water just to enjoy the stay. Note: Always bring sweats, sweaters, blankets and sleeping bags because it gets extremely chilly at night. Bring clothes according to the weather and appropriate shoes for hiking or hot weather, I'd say one park of beach sandals and hiking shoes. Washrooms are readily available which is nice, with showers (hot) free, and has a outdoor washer for cleaning dishes. Parking lot is limited to campground however the beach/lake view has large parking areas. Be sure to review their map for activities which is updates monthly, there are plenty of things to do such as the theatre which is a learning centre. Their website contains specific bookings for their programs too that include stargazing. Be mindful that this is also a national park, meaning there is an entrance fee and depending on your camp stay you'll need to pay for those days too per person. See website for more info. https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/index As for wild animals just be cautious, follow the guidelines mostly seen from the brochures upon entrance fee. Take your time to visit the tourism spots and nice picnic areas. Recommended for first time campers or camping goers. Trails for hikers, people who like to camp with friends or family. July is the best time to swim later months lake is algae infested. I would definitely come back here again. At night the beach view is amazing when sun goes down almost romantic as the night stars appear. It would have been spectacular if I camped when the northern lights were at its highest.

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!
