Outdoor Fun at Public Parks

‍

Nothing says winter like sledding, snowball fights, and snowman-making. Lethbridge maintains over 130 parks and natural areas around the city, each offering their own unique winter advantage. For those seeking the perfect sledding hill, we recommend checking out the sugar bowl—it's the most popular hill in the city for a reason. For winter walks and snowman-building competitions, you can't go wrong with a trip to Henderson Lake.
