The Parks & Cemeteries team is preparing for the inaugural Run to Remember. Taking place Sunday September 29, the event features a 2.5K and 5K walk or run through Mountain View Cemetery. It is designed to honour the memories of loved ones, to celebrate life and to promote community health.

A joint Capital Improvement Plan-funded (CIP) project between Parks and Urban Revitalization will aim to provide a safer and more welcoming design to the southwest entrance of Downtown Lethbridge’s primary park. The Galt Gardens SW Corner Landscaping Project will improve the hardscaping, incorporate two new entrances to the pergola, improve existing lighting and add in additional lighting. Fencing will be going up Wednesday and the area will be closed off to pedestrians. The bulk of the project is anticipated to be complete by the end of October, weather permitting, with some work to be finished in spring 2025.

Lethbridge’s newest play space is officially ready for users! The outdoor sports court is located in Legacy Park.

The City of Lethbridge is removing two unauthorized structures in the River Valley. One structure is in Botterill Bottom Park, the other is in the Lethbridge Nature Reserve. The removals come after environmental experts determined the structures are harming the environment.

Question: what do you get when you combine accessibility, safety, beauty and cost effectiveness?
