Located in Red Deer, this unique Alberta destination has a beach, a pool, a concession, a waterfall and a lazy river.

Though it does get pretty busy on super hot days, it’s well worth the trip – so plan ahead, leave early, and don’t forget your sunscreen!

Here, you can climb into a tube and relax for the day, get a tan and make a few memories with your family – though unfortunately, that doesn’t include your four-legged friend.

Feeling like a prune, but aren’t ready to go home?

You can also check out everything else the recreational area has to offer, from the golf course and green spaces to the restaurant.

You’re going to have a blast!
