Sandy Beach Park is a beautiful place within the city with varying terrain and the Elbow river flowing through the park.
It features a rocky beach with a shallow wading area. Locals love the park because of its excellent access to the water and amenities nearby.
Sandy beach is one of the best places in the city to play in the river. Sandy Beach isn't the most extensive park around, but it is away from the city noise and view.
Since the flood a few years back, the beach has shrunk, but it is still pleasant to sit at and let the kids or dogs play in the water.
The park boasts many picnic sites for all visitors to enjoy. Most picnic areas have shelter, and some even have Fire Pits and BBQ stands. It is a perfect area for group picnics.
Sandy Park also features beautiful pathways. There are a few spots along the path where you can take a short steep climb down to the river.
Shady playgrounds are right by the parking lot, close to picnic site 1. Parents can conveniently watch over the kids while they enjoy playing.
Visitors can access the River Park off-leash area up the hill. Naturally, it's a trendy spot for dog walking and cooling off on hot summer days. This site is also a convenient spot to launch a raft to float down the Elbow River.
The most exciting feature here is the Elbow River is very open, given that the water here is from the Glenmore Reservoir. It's excellent for birders or people wanting to see open water. With all the berry bushes here, the birds are generally relatively abundant.
The cool suspension bridge takes you to Britannia Slopes Park, which has lots of woods to stroll through. It is a pleasant place to stop for a short while in the winter and enjoy the scenic view.
The water on the beach is gentle and shallow. Kids love throwing and moving rocks around. Some even bring buckets to play with.
The river and beach area are rocky and hard on the feet. Visitors may want to consider wearing water shoes.
The park provides free parking. However, it is quite limited and usually gets full by lunchtime. You have to go there early if you want to secure a decent parking spot.
