Parks

West Stettler

West Stettler Park is a year-round hub of activity for both residents and visitors! Located south of Highway 12 between 62 Street and 70 Street, the park is home to a fishing pond, playground, spray park, skateboard park and illuminated pathway in addition to various sports fields and a campground. 

Wildlife

Geese, Goslings, Ducks and Muskrats are just a few animals that make an appearance throughout the park! Please do not feed or disrupt the wildlife - we want them to enjoy their visit too!

Kin Park Play Area

Built with donations from the Kinnette and Kinsmen Clubs of Stettler, Kin Park is the newest play area within the Town of Stettler! Kin Park is located across the bridge from the east parking lot of West Stettler Park.

Skateboard Park 

Located on the south east side of West Stettler Park just off 62 Street, Stettler’s Skateboard Park is a state of the art park that welcomes skateboarders, biker’s, scooter riders and inline skaters.  The park features numerous ramps, rails, boxes and hips. 

In 2021, the Stettler Skate Park will see the addition of a 174 square meter skate bowl.  The bowl will be approximately 5’ deep and includes a 6’ tall quarter pipe extension on the south side of the bowl.  Riders can use the new mini pocket and bank ramp to transition from the existing park to the new bowl feature.

Rotary Armstrong Spray Park

Built with donations from the Stettler Rotary Club, the Rotary Armstrong Spray Park is a great spot to cool down on a hot summer’s day.  Located beside the east parking lot of West Stettler Park, the Rotary Armstrong Spray Park also includes picnic tables and change rooms. 

Fishing & Fishing Dock

Fishing at West Stettler Park is permitted; however, all Alberta province-wide regulations involving sport fishing must be adhered to. Open from May 15th-October 31st, and December 11th-March 31st.

Over time, various fish species were deposited into the pond. We have seen excellent natural growth of the Pike Fish population over the past number of years. The fishing is great and you don't have to go far! 

Gazebo & Bandstand

Residents and visitors can enjoy free live music in a beautiful outdoor setting!  Stettler’s Annual Canada Day Celebration and Music in the Park Summer Concert Series are always sure to entertain. 

Are you an up and coming musical artist or performer?  Evening entertainment opportunities are always appreciated by our residents! To book your group for a slot at the Band Stand,  please call the Parks and Leisure Office at (403) 742-4411.

Trails

As part of the Town of Stettler’s trail system, West Stettler Park can be enjoyed through a paved pathway wrapping around the main portion of the pond.  The path around West Stettler Park includes two pedestrian bridges and is well lit for increased safety. Pets are welcomed at West Stettler Park as long as they stay on a leash for the duration of their stay!

Cold Lake Bird Sanctuary

Located on the east side of Stettler on Highway 12, this sanctuary is often home to several species of waterfowl year round. The sanctuary offers a scenic view while watching the birds frolic and play.

Rotary Millenium Tree Park

Millenium Tree Park is located on 62 Street, just south of the Recreation Centre. The trees were planted in 2000 and a wide diversity of seedlings were left to grow naturally, with some pathways cut over time. It is a great place to pick cherries in mid-summer. 

Main Street Park

The Downtown Park was donated by Don and Sylvia Peters and family in 2013. It is locally referred to as the "Old Stettler Travel Site". The wish of the Peters family was to have the park dedicated to all the pioneer businesses of Stettler. The Heartland Beautification Committee initiated a Downtown Park Committee to come up with a design that could be presented to Town Council. They chose to showcase The Stettler Cigar Factory, the Stettler Train Station and Jimmy's Hardware by installing facades. After the park was built, the Carl Stettler Memorial was moved to Main Street.

Rotary Armstrong Spray Park

The Rotary Armstrong Spray Park was graciously built with donations from the Rotary Club. Located on 62 Street (behind the Stettler Recreation Centre). Features change rooms and picnic tables. Open daily from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM in July and August.

Off-Leash Dog Park

Featuring several exercise features for your pet, the Off Leash Dog Park is open for use and is located north of the Auction Mart on 42 Street. Please be considerate of all visitors and observe the posted signage.
