Discover Sherwood Park

Sherwood Park combines performing arts and galleries with recreational facilities, cycling routes and outdoor activities. When planning your trip, it is therefore worth considering which experiences appeal to you most: a year-round cultural program, getting around by bike or a range of activities at Millennium Place. This lets you get to know the character of the place through specific offerings.

Culture on Stage and in Exhibitions

Festival Place hosts concerts, theatre, comedy and live entertainment throughout the year. Its program therefore includes different forms of performing arts and caters to visitors who want more than just one type of event. Festival Place also supports community arts organizations and offers performing arts programs. If you are considering Sherwood Park for its cultural life, Festival Place is a notable destination for this focus.

Gallery@501 offers a different perspective: the public art gallery presents exhibitions by various artists, art groups and cultural partners. At the Strathcona County Museum & Archives, by contrast, the focus is on local history. The museum is located in the heart of Sherwood Park and is housed in a historic fire station and RCMP station dating from 1959. The gallery and museum thus offer different points of interest for travelers who want to consider art or local history alongside recreational activities.

Recreational Facilities and Routes

At Millennium Place, you will find several different recreational facilities: the aquatic centre has a wave pool. The First Call Leisure Ice and Twin Arenas include a leisure ice surface for skating as well as two NHL-sized ice rinks. The Goodwill Indoor Playground has a playground, climbing wall, treehouse and interactive play pods. If you would like to fill your stay with a variety of activities, you can choose among these options based on whether swimming, skating or playing is your priority.

Cycling is another consideration when planning your trip. The Sherwood Park cycling guide provides information about selected cycling routes and a 287 km trail network. This figure refers to the trail network, not the length of a single route. The Strathcona County trail and cycling guide also shows the road network, trail network and parks in the Sherwood Park area.

Cross-country skiing, walking, tobogganing and snowshoeing are possible at Broadmoor Public Golf Course. These options add outdoor activities to the recreational facilities. When deciding on Sherwood Park, you can also consider whether you would like to include such outings in your stay.

A Variety of Local Flavors

Savour is Strathcona County’s annual festival, celebrating local flavors, creativity and community. For guests interested in food and the local character of a destination, the festival offers a distinct attraction alongside art, performances and active pursuits. The annual festival can give your trip a focus of its own.

When looking for a vacation rental in Sherwood Park, you can start by considering which of these interests will shape your trip: performing arts and exhibitions, the facilities at Millennium Place, cycling and trails, or the annual Savour festival. This way, you can begin your choice with the purpose of your trip and decide which aspects of Sherwood Park you would like to discover.
