Medicine Hat Strathcona Island Park, it is a where nice park to spend time with your Family and love one's, There is a big play ground to go with your scooders bike s and there is even much wild life deeres in the area, there are fire places to have a bunch fire, but without for people ho are around you, when you have a bonfire tay call the Firetruck and they come to pick on you to see if you make out the fire even if you are there.
Love the park. Just wish the city would redo many of the paths that require it. Also maybe get rid of the gross red brick trails and pave those as well. Otherwise great park with lots to walk, and things to do.
Great park, lots of trails, and picnic tables. Kids park includes an extensive playground with rubber matting and a larger waterpark. The Trans Canada Trail goes through the park along the river. Washrooms available at boatlaunch and playground.
Beautiful park and playground, with a splash park close enough for your kids to go back and forth while still in your view. Nice picnic tables and park benches. Great trails for walking, biking or using a scooter or skateboard.
I was walking down here with my dog and came across a deer. Surprisingly my dog wasnt bothered and wasn't agressive whatsoever, then the deer lunged at my dog. We then walked away from the deer, the deer followed me from the baseball diamond to the park. Be careful out there if u have a dog.
Fantastic day at Strathcona Island Park today with the family. The park wasn't too busy with lots of room on the park benches, free BBQ stands or the vast picnic areas. Lots for the kids to do in the splash park, play area, water sport along the seskachewan river or just go for a walk.
Just loving it here! Nice to walk or just park have a picnic or bon fire too. Clean, peaceful and calm stratchona river view. Again instragamable views!
Strathcona Island Park is an urban nature preserve that showcases southeast Alberta's diverse habitat. Situated between the South Saskatchewan River and Seven Persons Creek, you'll find an abundance of deer, beaver, antelope, moose, and other wildlife. The park itself is not maintained in a traditional sense. If a tree falls, it remains in a natural state to let nature take its course. You'll find a number of paved and unpaved paths, ball diamonds, a splash park, accessible playground, boat launch and more. It's especially beautiful in the summer.
Love going to Strathcona. Very beautiful during the fall season to go for a long stroll through the park and down some of the scenic trails. Not too many people go to visit it which means you will most likely have parts of the park to yourself for the most part. It has nice playground equipment, and a boat launch for those who want to go on the south Saskatchewan river. Definitely worth a visit if you happen to be in Medicine Hat.
Beautiful park and trails. Riding bikes at times was a real hazard trying to avoid tree branches hitting faces. Unfortunately weeds this year were left to the point of narrowing the trails and only a small portion was taken care of it, it was left littering the trails unsure if the stems were weeds or snakes at times. Grateful for the washroom facilities and hope that the city will take into consideration that many people in winter still use these parks and need the washroom facilities to be open year round. Still we are thankful for the trails but maintenance was lacking this year.
