Reviews of Galt Gardens Spray Park (Tourist Attraction)

BRIGITTE RENAUD

If the water was warmer this would be our favorite summer spot. The beautiful lit fountain is an oasis in the heart of Lethbridge.

Nice in the summer

luke heavyhead

Took a really good bath then it turned off

Tysh DeCoste

Good if not being exposed to drunks and junkies.

Nicolette Dawn

It would be great if there wasn't 20 or more people sleeping in the park with naloxone kits in front of them. I'm not taking my kids there.

Christopher Theiss

Popular with kids in the summer

Matthew J Spurrill

A few flower beds, grass is often dying and brown in many places, homeless vagrants litter the park and ask you for money, smokes or if you want to buy drugs. Sometimes they just harass you because they are high and leave needles or garbage around the park, often they drink in the park and no one does anything to stop them. The bathroom are gross and dirty while you will often find needles or broken glass crack pipes. There is usually two security guards but they don't really stop the vagrants from harassing you or kick them out for being drunk or high.

Fun place and enjoy people watching

Peter Hasenpfeffer

Good events are always being hosted here, but of course you have to deal with the weirdos that hang around.

Salina Hewko

It's nice

Anindita Dutta

A little piece of green in the middle of downtown.

Reginald Lincoln

Refreshing on this 30degree day.

Nice park

Great cool off spot for kids on hot summer days. Located in the heart of the city. Picnic tables surround the spray park, the grass areas are kept clean and traditional picnics are a good option.

Brian Kettle

Seen d.o.t workers carry a passed out homeless guy into the van to take him back to the shelter. Other than that it was o.k lol

Evgeni Iliukovich

Kids love it.

Prince Show

Great Place to Have Fun with kids due to the Water Fountain

Cheryel Kielback

Clean, green, lots of tables to sit on and a great water feature...

Yvonne Ijeh

There's lots of stuff happening at Galt Gardens

James Price

Great place for Family's

Lance Cahoon

I love taking the kids here, they have a blast playing in the water.

Robert

Great idea, horrible location down in the park with the scabby people and addicts

Megan Miller

Nice to have green space downtown for events and festivals. Parking is okay. However it rarely feels like a safe spot to take the family for a picnic or enjoy the spray park. Lots of folk call the park home and aren't shy about asking for change or using substances.

bryn swihart

pretty good little spray park. It's nice and close to some great businesses.

Niko Nesin

It is a great peaceful, spacious park. Events such as car shows often happen there.

...it's a spray park and we live in the desert.

Tanvir Ahmed Fuad

Great car show. You really don’t want to miss this show. Great collection of retro cars

Was a good place for my little spawn devils to get some sun and water. No one bothered us here. The only thing I was worried about was needles and pipes as I did see one walking through the grass ???? but just stayed close to the spray park didn’t roll in the hay so to speak.

Joseph Nadeem

Nice Park

Austin Verbree

Great place on a hot day

Jason Valliere

Fun!

Mike Fitton

Always a great place to walk around, and if you have kids, there is a spray park! They have different events going on all year round, so they keep it fun!

Ryan Rowson

Was down for pagan festival beautiful park

John Blackmore

Aight.

Jill Johnston

I love all the events that take place and the spray park. Do not enjoy the drug addicts and needles everywhere.

George Haeh

Nice shady spot in the Summer for everybody.

Velina Friesen

People have warned that the homeless come here to poop but there are public bathrooms and the fountain is turned off overnight so I don't think that is very likely. I have jumped through the fountain a few times and never experienced swimmers itch, or any other ailments commonly link towards defecation in water.

George Lessard

There was a music festival tonight not enough masks and too many kids I decided to just bicycle through it

(Translated) A very happy and close-knit community atmosphere is generated during the public events that are organized here. The spaces are appropriate for simple presentations and the same can be seen among its visitors to local politicians and representatives, as television presenters. It is an inclusive and familiar space, it is a good place to meet friends by chance (Original) Se genera una atmósfera muy alegre y de comunidad unida durante los eventos públicos que se organizan aquí. Los espacios son apropiados para presentaciones sencillas y lo mismo se puede ver entre sus visitantes a políticos locales y representantes, que presentadores de televisión. Es un espacio incluyente y familiar, es un buen lugar para encontrarse por casualidad con amistades

Nice to cool off on a hot day

Jasmin Roussy

Nice addition to the community

For one positive to say it's a very nice looking park however it's overrun with junkies and drunks. There are constantly paramedics on site because of people OD'ing and they shoot up right in front of anybody they want and fist fights between drunk people and constant harassment by people who don't know better who go here. There are discarded needles in the grass and people constantly get harassed and mugged here because of the egregious amount of junkies and drunks. I don't know why police just don't hang out there 24/7 and fill up their jail cells. It's such a disgrace on the city but that's exactly what downtown LA is this is the epitome of our own skid row. If I could give this park a negative rating I would.

Nicole Fuehrer

There is very poor access to a wash room when you have more than on kid. You have to leave the park and go all the ways in doors to get to a washroom.

Devin Anderson

Very pretty. the water works look fun

Steve Underhill

Nice flowers.

musapenda phiri

Too many drug users around

vittorio o

What a waste of money not because of the park but the waste of trying to keep this clean. If Lethbridge was smart they should what other cities do they should put a major fence around the whole park the reduction in maintenance alone would pay for the fence in a couple of years

Dave (DavesElectronicals)

Annual car Show and Shine. Nice!

Quasy Moto

Full of homeless people stay away

Randy Nielsen

In the center of town very family-friendly

Jerru Zajac

Great place

joshua hiott

Haven't had soooo much fun since I was a kid!!! lol. Great place to bring the kids and dogs.

Russ “Thrillhouse” Dibiase

All around awesome vibe in the downtown lethbridge area! All the vagrants moved when we shoo'ed them so that was nice!

Larissa Paul

Lame, park is full of drunks and addicts. How many people die there, place should be a cemetery for goodness sake..

Cheryl North Peigan

No thanks

Katy Elniski

Very accessible spray fountain - tends to start up a few minutes after the advertised time (like 10:05 vs 10:00).

gordon bello

Great place to take kids on a hot summer day.

Amor Gar

Ther were drugs and needles everywere

Cliff Dudley

You know the Galt Gardens in Lethbridge for the size of a city and how many children around there that's spray park they got there is a joke there is nothing there for kids to do you know for the size that Lethbridge is you think the city could do more for the people there it's not worth going

David Baird

Show and shine street wheeler's weekend

Wanda G

Beautiful park with a spray park for the kids. Lots of big trees and beautiful flowers. Washrooms and picnic tables on site. Well maintained. It was packed this weekend with muscle cars show n' shine for Street Wheeler Weekend. Such a great time. Lethbridge weather is usually quite warm making for great picnic weather and this park is a great place to take the kids. Lots of open area with green grass. Great for kids outdoor activities.

Rocky Mountain

Hot summer fun

Reid Hollander

Julian Bischke

Lori Crow Eagle

Wayne Naylor

Gina F

Lovely always sitting there enjoying the radio playing and watching the water park. Just so sad to see the gardens so dirty.

Ed Roberts

Had a nice time at Ribfest 2018

Justin Castor

To much drug activity. Not recommended for children

Shelby Schmidt

Music and lights. They kept the water on for us when we were the only ones there and my son was still playing.

Ceilidh McLeod

One of the worst parks I have ever been in, I have never felt so uncomfortable somewhere with my kids before, I didn't want them touching anything so we left swiftly. There were numerous people injecting themselves with needles under trees, people clearly off their faces on drugs - which was scary to look at, trash EVERYWHERE - even blood stained tissues left on tables - I do not recommended it and I will NEVER go back.

It sprays up, it sprays down. When its not buried under a ton of snow.
