Super nice. Easy access to the river, with a nice comfortable shelter for when it's raining or when you need shade. Good parking access that's close to the boat launch.

Dan

Very clean and nicely kept, Nor'Westers rugby park is very well-known and popular rugby club with full bar.

Dallis Mc

This location was by far my fav. I even went there for 4 years when I moved to edmonton. The service and stock in the last year has went way down hill. Saturday 10 am 2 tills open??????? Why???? And 1 was the 12 items or less

Dan Schykulski

A fun place to spend a few hours with lots of open space.

varja pavlova

Nice place to spend time with family

Jamie Melatini

Great place for family and friend get togethers. In the area we were in, a little better maintenance as all the garbages were overflowing and looked to have been in that state for awhile.

Jason Kornik

Nice park, only issue we had were the cyclists. They using the pathways for speedruns and not slowing down and discounting in the blind corner. They had the attitude we own the road and beep you. Great playground thou.

Lyn Ann Wiebe

Nice park

Skål Venner

Great sports fields, playground for kids and a canoe launch. Lots of birds around

Kai Kang

Good

Josh Henry

Excellent place for a walk or to grab your canoe or kayak and go down to the river. It would be way 4 stars because the parking lot is usually always full, that could have been built bigger

Karl Erik Rye

Nice RV park

Mario Preston

Beautifull area and trail for cycling.

Rod Mcpherson

Excellent park for all occasions, easy to launch your kayak or canoe. Lots of wildlife spotting and a lovely lake to paddle around

Geordie Cheeseman

Numerous sports fields and a campground beside Sturgeon River. There is a walking trail that connects St Albert with Lois Hole Provincial Park on Big Lake. Also a great place for kayaking. Great location!

Malcolm Steele

Watching our grandson play football. Fields I good shape.

Glen Alphonse

There's too many mosquitoes here! Avoid this park!!!

Chasing Truth

So worth it to bring the family for a beautiful walk through. Love coming here ❤

Levi Kane

Always a fan of easily accessible green space. The park has a small floating dock where you can launch a kayak, paddle board, etc. The park also has several picnic tables and connects to the walking paths that follow the Sturgeon River. It's worth noting that, depending on the weather, the paths connecting to the park can flood sometimes if the river rises enough.

Hamid K

Very nice place for family, romantic and sport

Chris Siegle

Nice park, fun playground, beautiful walking paths.

Chris Logan

Rainmaker is sooooo much fun here!

Lis Anni Laursen

(Translated) Well organized conditions inside and out. Beautiful walks from the square. Short walk punched into ST. ALBERT town center. (Original) Velordnede forhold ude og inde. Smukke gåture fra pladsen. Kort gåafstansd ind i ST. ALBERT bymidte.

John G Lagrada

Nice place to go if ylu want to forget the city life. Nice sunset view. But prepare insect repellents, place is infested with swarms of mosquitoes.

mews me

This place is very popular and I can see why. It is clean, has a professional port-a-pottie onsite, good but limited and they put out a mobile dock and rubber mat's for kayak and inflatable launching. The bird life is abundant and a wonder to behold. Share the waters, keep them clean, continue to be stewards in managing this location to keep it viable and safe for many more years to come.

Mark Fraser

Nice

Kevin John Danan

Nice park with alot of activities though they only have washroom location

Ghadi Al Taki

a great place to enjoy fishing, an afternoon walk, spending the week-end with your kids, or for birding and photography. I recommend visiting Rotary Park and parking there, then walking under the bridge to reach this place, because there is a playground for kids. Come here on a sunny day to enjoy nature at its fullest, as there is a great variety of wildlife such as swallows, blackbirds, beavers, ospreys, moose, and much more. Please respect the animals during your visit and follow the rules and regulations. Bikes and scooters on the boardwalk scare away and disturb nesting animals. If you want to bring your dog, I recommend walking along the trail, and not on the boardwalk because dogs can also scare off any wildlife nearby. Have a fun visit and stay safe!

Alexandr Antonov

Nice place

Corin Hoskins

Love the riel rec park, great for the kids, the dogs and yourself! St. Albert does a fantastic job maintaining these grounds.

Kevin Crisp

Darcy j Dube

Bottle depot

Sandy Machell

Good place to Kayak from

Shanez Collure

Great soccer field, more parking would be ideal.

Jenn Anderson

Beautiful

Jonathan Molnar

Beautiful scenery, great for walks, dogs on leash, canoing, kayaking, bird watching. This year however the water levels due to rain every day for 2 months straight the paths under each bridge are closed off and you have to walk around and the dock had been closed down due to Im assuming construction which it needs to undergo. All in all still giving it 5 stars as it is a beautiful addition to St Albert.

Shoa

A wonderful place for outdoor recreation.

Cameron The Cabbie

Great fishing, walleye and pike all day long

Jaime MacArthur (Macaruk)

We stayed at this park more as an easy overnight option and were pleasantly surprised. Every site has all hookups and complimentary wifi, the grounds are well taken care of, and there's a good amount of parking. To top it all off, st. Albert has every store you could need and the rv park is right next to a beautiful public park with a walking trail and a children's play area. Will be staying again!

Chris

We'll, there is grass and lines on the grass. No bleachers or concession. Overall an average club field.

Mehul Madan

My friend got touched by a fish and he got really sick for a week now

Seth Vandermey

Sad I lost my football game

Ron Cann

Great place to launch a paddle board or kayak.. good fishing in the river

Ali Kamal

Good fields

Simon

Beautiful place for a number of field activities. If you longboard, there's a trail that connects the main bike path to here, but way at the back. It will take you to the businesses park, or to Levasseur road, I recall. Cool place, scenic.

Kimberly Fulton

Great place for a walk through the forest.

Viktor Forsberg

Too many people unfortunately

Garry Engler

Great place to enjoy the wonders of creation with your family. Bring your camera, as there is lots of wildlife to see!

Gary Morris

Excellent

brock lawrence

Large with parking

Mark Williams

Have to say. Worst experience so far kayaking. Boat launch looks like a place bodies are dumped. The "river" if you can call it that is so choked with weeds you can't even paddle without stopping constantly to clear your paddle. Don't even bother going there. Just a cess pool. To bad, it could have so much potential

Hilaire Kemami

Nice

Craig Wiens

This is an awesome rugby association and facility

Marlene Stanners

Watched my grandsons football game! What a great place, good food there too!

Glen

Its a big sports field for football, soccer, and such. It was just redone a few years ago (soil was contaminated from previous use) at great cost to the taxpayer and its still got that new field smell.

Gregory Laberge

Great trails, always relaxing, usually ride 13 kms a day!

Brooke Belcourt

Nice place for walks . Relaxing

Dad of 3 Boys

Extra small parking stalls

Colin Smith

This is a lovely park with its walk way through the reeds with the local wildlife, it seems very popular with twichers ,meaning people who photo the various birds on the lakes and in the reed beds.We did see all so people canoeing and fishing the larger lakes which is stocked with trout.

Christian Tremblay

Beautiful park, portable washrooms, easy access to Big lake and Lois Hole provincial park.

King Nation

Good times

Bryan Synn

Great field with public bathrooms and ample parking, hard to go wrong

Mike Kotyk

Awesome walking and biking paths.

Tara

Beautiful well maintained fields for my son's soccer, but super annoying that there are signs clearly stating no dogs on the fields and people still bring their dogs and let them go to the bathroom on the play areas?!!!! Um Gross!! Would like to see the SASA staff step up and ask them to remove their pets from the fields. Obviously the urine is not good for the grass and I don't care if you pick up your dogs other waste, there is still residue that I don't want my kid sliding, falling or playing on!

Rosanne Lacoursiere

Nice football place

Phyllis B

Good to take family

Plenty of space for the kids to run around. Lots of paved biking paths and benches.

Nice place to go on a summer day

Darrell Laboucan

Fantastic Canada Day festivities , Thank you for the awesome family outing! :)

greg Or

Nice new facility, but the sound system is awful and the stands should have been built higher up to improve viewing.

Matt Bodewitz

St Albert sucks

Peter Yackulic

Easy access to the water for launching a canoe, fairly quiet, calm paddling area without any nuisances.

Ken Ashworth

i normally enjoy going but a kid was working the door and his demeanor was very arrogant and pompous if he's too good to work there just move on. the table was poorly wiped and left sticky .. not much value for a wing night either will look to options before returning

John Tucker

Even with the snow the field crew did a great job to make the field playable for the football games.

Marion The barbarian

Beautiful

Greg Melnychuk

Beautiful place

Evan Bamber

Clean park with excellent access to the river for kayaking.

Candice Reagan

Beautiful walking trail, ran into this guy ????

Chris Velasco

St. Albert Park Maintenance did an amazing job on the launching boat area. I go to this place on the weekday mornings and it's usually pretty clean. Would be nice if people don't leave their vehicle by the docking area just because it is closer.(I'm talking to you black Ford Truck, not going to mention your license plate) Unless if you're the amazing St. Albert Park Maintenance crews, then by all means.

Kenneth Greene

The great outdoors, so close to home

Andrey K

Great place, big downside though - washrooms are closed. How one supposed to address this need? Where do you go? Run back home?

Thanuja Walpola

Good very beautifull

Bob Palamarek

Peaceful

G M

Great place to launch my canoe and travel down stream

Eranga Dassanayake

It is an enjoyable walk on a warm day.
