Located on the Southeast Hill in a quaint neighbourhood, Kiwanis Central Park has a playground, nature playground, and waterpark. The City-favoured whale slide, Moby Dick, has sat there since the 1960s and was recently updated to ensure safe play. Four of Marina Cole’s wood carvings can be found on page 36. Nine disc golf nets are set up around the park for a friendly-game. In the winter, check out the ice rink surrounded by tall, snow-kissed trees. 200 11 St. SE Leinweber Park Along with tall trees that shade the sunshine, nine disc golf baskets can be found at Leinweber Park.

A beautiful pond sits in the summer and is turned into a skating rink in the winter. 2293 Crestwood Dr. SE Ross Glen Water Park This waterpark is full of fun features, like a giant bucket that fills with water and pours over those who stand underneath it.
