Sheep Shack Pop-Up & Plays
Your neighbourhood park just got more playful.
Share your Sheep Shack Pop Up and Play feedback!
Did your family take part in Sheep Shack Pop Up and Play this year? We’d love to hear from you! Take our quick survey to share what your family enjoyed and what we could improve for next year.
Operated by the Dow Centennial Centre, Sheep Shack Pop-Up & Plays brings free, ever-changing nature-based play experiences to parks across Fort Saskatchewan, giving children and families new ways to explore, create and connect outdoors.
Each pop-up is different, featuring natural materials, games, and creative, open-ended activities designed to spark imagination, movement, and social connection right in your neighbourhood park.
Everyone is welcome! Children 7 & under must be accompanied by a responsible person 14+.
Watch for signs in your local park!
Note: Sheep Shack Pop Up and Play is named after our outdoor play program. These pop-up events feature games and activities, but no live sheep. Learn about where you can see the live sheep.
