Fowler Park

TUCKED AWAY AT the edge of Braeside sits Fowler Athletic Park, with its track painted in that familiar, calming shade of blue. The track and field facility has been a staple of the St. Albert athletic community for almost 40 years, and while it’s been long beloved by local athletes, it may come as a surprise that it was once a destination for track stars from all over Alberta. And though it may be less busy than it was during its glory days, Fowler Athletic Park continues to serve as an essential facility for aspiring athletes.

FUN FACT While the Alberta Summer Games have not returned to St. Albert since 1979, the city has played host to a few of its spin-offs: The Alberta Winter Games in 1994, and the Winter Games (for ages 55 and up) in 2011.
