This is the largest spray park I've ever been too. There are always a lot of people there, but it hasn't been over crowded. Everything is clean and well taken care of as well. The parking lot is large and is very accommodating. There is a dry park just passed the spray park as well for kids to go play in while they are there as well. A definite must if you live in spruce grove or even the west side of Edmonton.

This neighborhood park is where we go when we want a change of scenery. This park has a shelter,…read moresome picnic benches, a toddler play area with smaller equipment, swings that parents can also sit on and many fun spinning things. It also has a bigger kid side so there is something for everyone. It's also a park friendly to disability's with some special equipment for that. Last time I came they were also in the middle of building a spray park there so next summer when it's done, or this summer perhaps? It's going to be awesome! This park also has a big hill for winter adventures or for summer rolling and running. They have a mini pathway for bikes or pretend play too. Although there's no parking lot, there is ample street parking. If you're in this area, check out this park!

Also I would take an umbrella because after a little while I. Sunny days, it can be uncomfortable and make it hard to enjoy the experience. They rent paddle boards too which was pretty fun and I may do that again. Overall it's a good place and I'll definitely go back there again.

This place is pretty amazing! It is so big! It has…read moremultiple playground features that would accommodate any child age group. The age suggestions for each structure is marked. There are traditional swings and slides. There is sand. There is also an impressive spray park. It will be a new favorite of ours. Easy to find parking. There were bathrooms available but quite far away. I could not see any water fountains near by. Why not 5 stars? It is so big that I had a tough time keeping track of my little kids. My radar isn't fast enough. When they get older then I can see this being perfect. Also, not much to do with your child if your child isn't good with walking.

Strathcona County has been trying really hard to make Festival Place the 'centre of the park' but…read morethey have fell flat with that idea. BUT when it comes to green space and outdoor activities, they have excelled in making this area great for everyone. The redevelopment of the park is no exception. Before the renovation, this park was 'meh' at best. Too much sand, old wooden playground sets, swings...the typical stuff you would expect to see. But after a year-long renovation this park has become a hot spot for kids and parents. Just take a look at the pictures I posted! This place is amazing. Makes me wish I was 4 foot 1 again! The spray park area is awesome! Slides, water diversion trenches and tons of fountains. Then you move into the rock area which is als as awesome. Then as you pan right some more you have this rope tower mountain that looks like something Spiderman would have webbed for a bad guy. Once you get to the top of this 3 storey structure, you fly down a tube slide that makes kids scared. LOL And it doesn't end there. Now you have this cool park area with multiple slides, climbing areas and other stuff. Then when you thought you had enough, venture on their pirate ship and THEN finish off on a swing....*panting*...ya if your kids don't get wiped out from a day here, there is something wrong with them. What makes this park even better is that the surface is completely cushioned. No sand! The only things I do not like about this place - the public bathroom is locatesd in the ice rink north of the park. SIgns are terrible but there is a bathroom somewhat close by. Secondly, there needs to be a coffee kiosk on site. Ice cream is represented, coffee...nope. So take your kids here! Bring a cooler, drinks, blankets, food. You can have a fantastic afternoon with your children at this park.

I do go when it's a little quieter as my girl does like to play but can be reactive and dominate. There unfortunately, isn't a lot of availability and cost of private ones. She is more reactive on leash than without. It does have a little yard of agility equipment-- do be careful and look for sharp edges as some of it is left over wood and scrap metal. A lot of it is also kinda high. But my girl likes the smaller hoops and the tunnel. A-frame is too steep and high.

The feature itself is small with only 2 water features but the biggest issue is the water was pumping through them so hard yesterday that it would have knocked my 3 year old off his feet or ripped off his skin - and I'm not kidding! The park itself is beautiful with many benches surrounding it making it the perfect spot to enjoy a mid day snack or lunch while taking in the beautiful park like setting. A small skate park is adjacent to this park as well as a historical site with a log cabin. We didn't check it out as my kids wer antsy to get back on the road and find a spray/splash park more suitable to them.

It's especially great when you're looking for something to do and do nothing at all at the same time. The sites have great tree cover for privacy and such. I really like the easy access to the beach/day area. There is parking so driving is always an option. It's great that is so close to Edmonton. It's also makes it easier to camp, but have friends visit for the day because summer.

Staff is ok, no time to chat at times due to constant maintenance and work. Grass is well kept, lots of washrooms almost everywhere which is great! The park has a beach which is busy, volleyball on the side and kids playground. There are change rooms nearby with a fairly clean washroom and water pump to rinse off. Boating on the docks near the beach. Trails that lead to other campgrounds but if your looking to camp you may need to book.

REAL washrooms that are pretty darn clean most of the time, a water fountain, lots of lush grass, playground equipment good from toddler to big kid, and super close to the Sturgeon River and City Hall.

It's recently been redone, so everything is in great condition. It's got a lot of pathways lined with plants and grassy areas to wander around. While I wouldn't necessarily describe it as a sculpture garden, there are a number of pieces. Since going to art galleries and museums has fallen on a spectrum from impossible to ill-advised, Borden Park's sculptures gave me a chance to see some art while I'm in Edmonton. The centerpiece of Borden Park is the natural swimming pool. Unfortunately, this is closed for the 2020 summer season. More importantly, the washrooms are also closed for the season. If you have a strong bladder and/or are prepared to pop a squat somewhere (there are plenty of trees and bushes for privacy) there are lots of nice picnic areas. You already have hand sanitizer with you, right? There are some very cool looking playground structures, which are open. There are groups of tables of various sizes, some of which are wheelchair accessible, as well as ample grounds for picnics while conforming to social distancing guidelines. There's a save-on-foods on the other side of the parking lot in case you don't want to carry picnic foods from home.

Very unorganized, you have to get up and leave at the end of every session, there's no clear instructions as to how you line up.
