Places to See

Capture the essence of Fort Saskatchewan

There is something iconic about a historic downtown at the heart of a city. Downtown Fort Saskatchewan offers many experiences including relaxation, education and recreation. It’s relaxing just to stroll the streets and shop. It’s an education to step into history at the Fort Heritage Precinct or appreciate beautiful public art. If it’s recreation you seek, look no further than the river valley trail system that connects right into the downtown core at Legacy Park. For fun time or downtime, Downtown Fort Saskatchewan has a place and space for you!
