Boasting an 18-hole golf course with a driving range, Victoria Park hosts Edmonton's oldest municipal course. You will also find a cricket pitch and horseshoe pit. There are plenty of places to have a picnic. The park is popular with cross-country skiers in winter. A great place to have some quiet time away from the noisy everyday city life.
The Emily Murphy Park is known for its proximity to the North Saskatchewan River and its scenic beauty, but perhaps is the best-kept secret in the city for winter sports. Part of the enchanting River Valley, this beautiful park transforms into a winter wonderland, with snow-covered hillocks and plenty of space to go kick-sledding and tobogganing with family. During summer, the park throws open several trails that are used for biking or strolling. There is also a picnic site, a small boat launch system, and a children's playground built into the premises of the park.
Located just off the Whitemud Freeway, Snow Valley Edmonton is a family friendly winter sports center. Using snow-making machines to ensure the best conditions for skiing, the center has qualified instructors, equipment rentals, beginner slopes, handle tows, a snowboard park, an alpine club for racing, and a full catering service. A new feature, family snow tubing, is offered on Sunday evenings. Admission varies widely with special offers and packages.
