There are plenty of options to choose from, including golfing, attending community sports events, exploring historical sites, and visiting some of Edmonton's stunning parks.

Golfing in the Summer Sun

Spend your summer months on Canada’s oldest city-run golf course. Victoria Golf Course is only a five-minute drive from Citizen and is ideal for beginners and mid-handicap players. Enjoy a round of golf with friends, or if you’re more serious about the game, you can join one of the men’s or women’s golf clubs. After your round, enjoy a handcrafted meal on the patio while taking in the view. If you’re new to the area, the clubs are a great way to make new friends and perfect for business networking too. 
 

Enjoy a Game 

Whether you like to cheer on a local sports team or have fun playing sports yourself, Edmonton has sports fields that cater to various sports, including soccer, baseball, cricket, and rugby. Choose your sport, find a field, and gather some friends!
 

The Edmonton Cricket Club

The Edmonton Cricket Club, located only a few minutes from Citizen in Victoria Park, is one of the oldest cricket clubs in Canada. It was founded in 1882 and is now in the 2nd Division of the Edmonton and District Cricket League with seven other teams. Reach out to them if you have experience and want to play, or if you simply want to spend the day watching a game and learning about the sport.

Visit Alberta’s Legislature Grounds

Explore Alberta's rich history by taking a guided tour of its Legislature buildings. These tours are available throughout the summer and are free for visitors. Marvel at the stunning architecture of these historical buildings, constructed in the Beaux Arts style in 1913. This style features a large central dome above a spacious rotunda and draws inspiration from Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences commonly used in public buildings during the early 1900s. Additionally, the Legislature grounds are ideal for a leisurely stroll or a family picnic.
 

Visit Many of Edmonton’s Beautiful Local Parks

Edmonton is home to many beautiful parks and nature reserves which are well worth visiting. Elk Island National Park is the perfect place to observe elk, bison, moose, wolves, white-tailed deer, and black bears in their natural environment. Go camping, enjoy a hike, laze on the sandy beaches, or go kayaking on the lake for a fun-filled day outdoors.
