Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in St. Albert

"The huge lake with little islands and inviting grassy areas with lots of elbowroom make the 168-acre William Hawrelak Park a favourite for everyone. Catch one of several major festivals here (Included the Edmonton Heritage Festival, Silver Skate Festival and Freewill Shakespeare Festival) or just stroll or cycle, play beach volleyball, take out a paddleboat, read a book on a bench, enjoy a leisurely picnic, or skate on the lake in the wintertime. Edmonton is a bustling city of nearly one million, so of course there’s plenty to see and do: museums, sporting events, shopping, festivals, and more."

"Although a seasonal location, theEdmonton Ice Castles are truly a scene from a fairytale. Between the impressive height of its castle walls, to the powder blue hue of all of that sculpted ice, this location could lend itself to so many different stories. I’m thinking perhaps of a live-action take on Disney’s Frozen?"

"In this sprawling 68-hectare park, you are sure to find an open spot to lay out your blanket. Hawrelak Park is one of Edmonton's crown jewels because it is surrounded by trails that you can explore by foot or bike. Make sure you stop in at Culina on the Lake for some hot eats and cool treats."

Interactive exhibits, educational programming and special events have encouraged visitors towards a greater awareness of and engagement with the wonders of nature that surround us. The John Janzen Nature Centre invites visitors of all ages to have fun while learning more about the importance of Edmonton's natural spaces."

"The newly-renovated John Janzen Nature Centre takes visitors for a walk on the wild side with programs, events and interactive exhibits designed to promote awareness with nature in an urban setting. The new Tegler Discovery Zone is an indoor play area that recreates local wildlife habitat. Crawling and climbing structures are designed for children up to age 10."

"When I was a kid, we used to love going to John Janzen Nature Centre to peer at little critters in the ponds. The kid-focused centre is right beside Fort Edmonton park, but it has been closed and undergoing renovations for a few years. It is supposed to reopen in fall of 2021; I’ll report back here once we visit!"

"Park Hours: 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM Daily Victoria Park IceWay and Skating Oval: 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM Daily (Winter Season). What’s a better winter activity than ice skating?. Take your date to Victoria Park and visit the park’s IceWay and Skating Oval for a wintery date."

"Macarons & Goodies is yet another delectable bakery Edmonton that serves Canadian and French confectionery. All of their baked items are made in-house with quality ingredients. Macarons, sandwiches, eclairs, and croissants are their signature items that have a huge customer base."

"Over the next two weeks, we’ll be featuring each of the 10 businesses who are participating in Chinatown Dining Week, running January 14-24, 2021. All businesses are offering special takeaway deals during this period for $10 and/or $18. Check out all of the menus here."

"Brasserie Bardot isn’t your average French restaurant – their goal is to put an unexpected twist on familiar flavors. Owned by the same group of the infamous Violino, this “reimagined French Brasserie” offers guests beautifully presented comfort food combined with wine and cocktails. Located in a historic site first built in 1926, this pub-style eatery is charming, warm, and welcoming with an atmosphere that’s perfect for a romantic evening out."
