In a heartwarming display of community spirit and creativity, dedicated City of Lethbridge Parks & Cemeteries worker Garry Brown has undertaken a challenge that is bound to become Lethbridge’s newest attraction.

Garry, who is the Amenity Services Coordinator, recently completed building an oversized blue Adirondack chair.

The new Inclusive and Accessible Play Space at Galt Gardens is now open. Located immediately adjacent to the Rotary Centennial Fountain in the southeast corner of the four-hectare park, the new space features inclusive and accessible play equipment, rubber surfacing, a plaza space and park furniture.

The City of Lethbridge Parks & Cemeteries team is thrilled to introduce Community Play Boxes. These boxes are filled with sport and play equipment for anyone in the community to use, at no cost.

Catering to the ever-increasing popularity of the sport, the City of Lethbridge is excited to officially open six more pickleball courts.

The east position of the Wade Galloway Skate Park will be temporarily closed this week, as some concrete repairs will be taking place from today until Saturday.

Kids of all ages have one final weekend to enjoy Legacy spray park, located in the north end of Legacy Park, as it will be closed for the season end of day Sunday.  

The City of Lethbridge needs to remove goldfish and koi out of Chinook Lake and Elma Groves stormpond. Goldfish and koi are non-native species introduced into lakes and stormponds that cause problems for the native species and the habitat.   

As the weather heats up, be sure to cool off with one of four new drinking water stations as part of a pilot project around the city.

The City of Lethbridge is welcoming residents to participate in Goldfish Derby Days to learn about invasive goldfish and koi found in local stormponds.

For the past five summers, goats have been used to help control invasive weeds in select areas of the river valley, and since the introduction of the program over 750 hectares of invasive weeds have been grazed.
