Recreation and Parks Month

June is Recreation and Parks Month (JRPM). Every year this nationwide celebration aims to educate people on the health benefits of recreation and physical activity.

Fort Saskatchewan invites you to celebrate JRPM in our beautiful parks and facilities. Here is a list of great activities that will get you out and moving!

Scavenger Hunt

This year the City is hosting a community scavenger hunt. This scavenger hunt gives families fun ways to explore the parks and trails that make up Fort Saskatchewan. It is a way to have fun exploring and to win a great prize! Good luck, have fun and remember to stay physically distancing while outside.
