You can find many different parks and trails in Strathcona County that can be used for walking, running, cycling and playing. During the winter months, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing can also be enjoyed.

Off-leash dog areas are also available throughout Sherwood Park and Ardrossan. At the Strathcona Wilderness Centre, you'll find world-class trail systems as part of the Beaver Hills Biosphere that extends into Elk Island National Park.

Mowing cycle standards

The majority of County-maintained open spaces are managed on a 7 to 10 day mowing cycle. The exceptions are for premier areas and high-use sports fields, which are mowed more frequently. Sides of rural trails, alleyways and utility operational sites are mowed less frequently.
