Lions Park

ON QUIET SUMMER afternoons, when the sun is shining, there are few better places to be than Lions Park. It’s one of the oldest and most developed of St. Albert’s parks, so it may surprise you to know that this isn’t a City park at all—or at least, not entirely. For over 60 years, Lions Park has been the passion project of the St. Albert Host Lions Club, and they are the ones responsible for building it into what it is today. The park has seen many renovations over the years, and it continues to serve the needs of the community.

DID YOU KNOW?Many of the park’s features were developed as part of the Lions Club’s centennial celebration project in 1967. The club committed $30,000 to a large-scale renovation that included public washrooms and decorative archways, and less-visible improvements such as drainage systems to ensure the park wouldn’t flood during summer storms.
