The construction utilized over 300 cubic meters of topsoil and over 250 cubic meters of Play Sand, ensuring a safe and engaging environment for kids to explore. With a diverse range of play pods/zones, including four 100-foot Zip Lines, the Rotary Adventure Park is poised to become a popular community destination, providing an unforgettable experience for residents and visitors to Prince Albert. The overall capacity of the Playground is for 300+ children. 

 

The Rock N Road Bike Club built a new Bike Skills Park in Little Red in 2021. Check it out and find more information on the clubs' website and Facebook Page.

The creation of an Indigenous Cultural Grounds on the Upper Plains within Little Red River Park has the potential to be a significant catalyst space to promote and foster reconciliation in the region between all residents.

The project proposes to include a traditional powwow arbour, seasonal sweat lodge facility, ceremonial hall, cultural stage, land-based classroom and outdoor kitchen - supported by access road, parking and washroom facilities. This would help provide the infrastructure needed for cultural practices, celebrations and ceremonies to thrive in the Prince Albert community and beyond.

This space is a critical piece of missing infrastructure in our community that has great potential to help support cultural and ceremonial workers to continue doing the good work they practice.
