Parks 

Grande Prairie has an abundance of neighbourhood parks throughout the community.  Located in the heart of the city, Muskoseepi Park is the jewel of Grande Prairie.  Along with both paved and natural trails through the urban forest for walking, biking and cross-country skiing, park facilities include an outdoor pool, large playground, all-season pond for fishing and skating, outdoor basketball, tennis and lawn bowling courts, mini-golf, bird watching facilities, and quiet places to just sit and enjoy the solitude.  Muskoseepi Park is also the place to be for entertainment during the summer.  Grande Prairie’s Canada Day celebration is held in the Park.  The outdoor Amphitheatre, with its hillside seating, provides the stage for concerts, dance performances, and other shows throughout the season.  Stop by the Pavilion for a bite to eat.   The Park also offers fun and educational programs for school and youth groups, adults and children of all ages.    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

   

 

 

Swimming Pools 

Grande Prairie has a very active aquatics community and a very busy indoor pool.  The Leisure Centre houses the indoor pool and offers a full range of swimming lessons, public swims and organized activities such as synchronized swimming and water polo.  A new Multiplex is in the construction stage, and is expected to be completed by the summer 2011.  During the summer months, the Bear Creek Pool in Muskoseepi Park is an excellent place for the family to cool off.

The Coca-Cola Centre   

Opened in September 2003, the Centre has two ice surfaces.  Seven-hundred and fifty Grande Prairie Minor Hockey players practice and play at the Twin Arenas.  The facility is also well used by Grande Prairie’s figure skaters.  The Coca-Cola Centre also hosts old-timer and commercial hockey leagues and is available for private bookings and public events.   The twin-rink facility is popular for hockey tournaments, as having two ice surfaces means even larger events may be held under one roof.  The north surface has seating for 1,000 with room for an additional 600 seats.  The south surface has seating for 350.
