Whether you're looking to move more, clear your mind, or spend time with family, our parks are easy places for you to get outside and enjoy every season.
With over 3,500 hectares of parkland across Winnipeg, there is no shortage of parks spaces, new experiences, and amenities to enjoy.
“Our dedicated frontline employees have been working diligently to ensure that our parks and open spaces are meticulously maintained, esthetically pleasing, and ready for visits from residents and visitors, of all ages and abilities, throughout the year,” said Dave Domke, Manager of Parks and Open Space.
During the summer, you can skateboard, play disc golf, lawn bowling, tennis, or use our athletic fields. If you are looking for a water activity, launch your boat, canoe, or kayak at one of our boat docks and canoe launches.
In the winter, you can get some fresh air and exercise on our cross-country ski trails, maintained skating ponds and rinks, and toboggan slides.
Walking and hiking trails can also be discovered year-round at great locations like Assiniboine Forest, Churchill Drive, Little Mountain Park, St. Vital Park, and along the Seine River.
You can also explore the Living Prairie Museum, a rare tall-grass prairie nature preserve home to more than 150 species of prairie plants and plenty of wildlife. There are so many natural areas you can enjoy and appreciate in Winnipeg.
If you have a canine companion, don’t forget to check out any one of our off-leash dog parks.
“Our employees work collaboratively, proactively, and positively with a wide variety of parks stakeholders and community partners throughout the year to make sure our parks are there for our visitors, as we work to achieve excellence in all of our park services,” said Domke.
