Parks and public spaces bring people together, attract people to downtown cores and provide opportunities for residents and visitors to benefit from nearby local businesses and attractions. When it opens later this year, the new Galt Gardens Inclusive and Accessible Play Space will also address a notable gap in recreation and play opportunities within a 10-minute walking distance of Downtown Lethbridge. Construction will begin soon, with fencing set to be put up in early June.

Beginning today, construction will start on six new pickleball courts at Legacy Park. The work will have some impact to park users.

As the vibrant colors of spring begin to blossom, we begin some of our playground and park construction projects throughout the city.

Warm spring days are giving us a sneak preview of the summer months ahead. Beginning Friday at 10 a.m., the City’s three spray parks will be open.  

Dog owners and their four-legged friends who visit the Park ‘n’ Bark will soon have toys, agility equipment and shade structures to enjoy.

On Mother’s Day, the City of Lethbridge Parks & Cemeteries team try to help honour the memory of loved ones by providing a free rose to visitors.

On Friday, May 12 the Park ‘n’ Bark dog park located at the corner of Scenic Drive North and Stafford Drive North will be closed for turf maintenance.

It's Mountain Bike Season!

The River Valley has a diverse network of mountain bike trails to explore. Help us protect the coulees the next time you hit the trails.

Lethbridge Fire and Emergency Services want residents and visitors to enjoy our beautiful city. As warmer weather and longer days set in, more people are venturing out in the coulees and river valley – so the renewed importance of recreational safety is paramount.

Residents are urged to take extra care when enjoying the parks in the River Valley due to the dry conditions and recent warmer temperatures which are expected to continue.
