Recreation and Parks Master Plan

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Leduc County is proud to provide a variety of parks and recreation opportunities to our residents. We offer recreation programs throughout the year, partner with local halls and societies on community-led events and maintain a number of parks, campgrounds and open spaces for residents to use and enjoy.

We value the benefits that recreation opportunities, parks and cultural activities provide to our residents – they are important components in creating a physically, socially and emotionally healthy community.

To help us understand the current and future needs for parks and recreation services, Leduc County is undertaking a Recreation and Parks Master Plan. The plan will be a guiding document for the County, its partners and residents for the next 10 to 15 years and will be developed based on a thorough research program, which includes the involvement of residents.


GET INVOLVED

Provide your input through our StoryMap (closed)

In December 2022, we accepted your feedback through our Recreation and Parks Master Plan StoryMap.

Thank you to everyone who participated. For more information on the StoryMap, contact Dean at 780-955-4535.

Community survey (closed)

From July to September, we accepted community feedback through an online survey. The survey is now closed and results will be shared here once available. Thank you to everyone who participated! For more information on the survey, contact Dean at 780-955-4535.


About Leduc County Parks and Recreation

We provide a variety of parks and recreation services to support recreation and community development in Leduc County. 

Recreation and library cost-sharing agreements
We maintain cost-sharing agreements with five municipalities:
  • City of Beaumont
  • Town of Calmar
  • City of Leduc
  • Town of Thorsby
  • Village of Warburg

Our cost-sharing agreements allow our residents to access quality recreation services, while reducing the recreation costs each municipality is required to pay. Services funded through the cost-share agreements include arenas, pools, athletic fields, recreation programs and libraries. 

Leduc County is divided into seven recreation districts; cost-share contributions are based on the number Leduc County residents in each district.

Campgrounds

We have two campgrounds and two group campgrounds in Leduc County.

Campgrounds

  • Jubilee Park Campground (111 campsites and two comfort cabins)
  • Centennial Park Campground (65 campsites)

Jubilee Park Campground also hosts a beach and day-use area that is accessed by thousands of people from across the region each season.

Group campgrounds

  • Sunnybrook Creek Park Group Campground (six campsites and a group area)
  • Genesee Park Group Campground (nine campsites and a group area)

Learn more about our campgrounds.

Parks and day-use areas

We have six day-use parks in Leduc County, located in New Sarepta, East Vistas, Centennial Park, Sunnybrook, Mission Beach and Genesee Heritage Park. We are also home to many other parks and reserve areas.

Each year, we maintain 16 separate sites. These sites include parks, playgrounds, campgrounds and Leduc County facilities (fire halls, public works shops and County buildings).

Parks planning

We participate in parks planning, including policy development, strategic direction, and support to the Planning and Development department in effective and sustainable park development.

We provide support and assistance to the dedication of municipal reserve lands, local area structure plans and future planning documents that impact parks and recreation.

As well, we provide parks planning assistance to not-for-profit associations and neighbouring communities where projects provide a benefit to Leduc County residents.

Community development

We host a variety of community programs throughout the year. Examples include farm-to-table dinners at community halls, Halloween events, winter festivals and harvest dinners. These family-friendly events draw hundreds of participants from across the region.

We also plan annual registered summer programs for children and adults. These registered programs include a variety of day camps, outdoor concerts and community events, such as drive in movies. 

Additionally, we provide assistance to more than 50 community and not-for-profit groups each year. We help with grant application writing, policy development and facility management support. 

Learn more about our 2022 summer programs.

Regional recreation grants

We provide regional recreation grants to support not-for-profit groups across the region. We provide annual funding opportunities to:

  • Groups and organizations that encourage the development of arts and cultural-related events and programs. Through this funding, we support new ideas and provide the opportunity for low cost, sustainable programs and events that benefit Leduc County residents.

  • Local recreation, athletic and cultural groups. Groups who received grant funding in 2021 include community halls, minor sports teams and community groups to host special community events, such as harvest festivals.


HOW YOUR FEEDBACK WILL BE USED

Your feedback will inform the development of the Recreation and Parks Master Plan and will be shared with Council to inform their decision-making.


NEXT STEPS

After we review feedback received through the StoryMap, we will develop a what we heard report, which will be shared on this webpage, and prepare a final plan for Council's review.

The Recreation and Parks Master Plan will go to Council for final approval in Q1 2023.
