Town Of Sylvan Lake

Very disappointed with our first (and last) visit to Sylvan Lake. We had heard it was a beautiful place with friendly people. We drove for three hours to get there and found a place to park on the street next to a little park. We let let our little 6lb maltepoo out of the car to run around. Within one minute, bylaw officers Trent and Mackenzie arrived to give us a $130 ticket. No questions asked. No warning. There were no signs where we we parked and thought a warning would have been appropriate. We decided to appeal and the person who called to discuss the issue was none other than the above officer Trent. Naturally, not being an independent review of the case, (ie he was police, prosecutor, and judge all in one), he let the decision stand.

Please move here and support our town. This is a gem in Alberta. The opportunities to start businesses here are endless. Ice fishing and summer fishing, skating and swimming (both indoor and outdoor), local artisans, artists and breweries- lots of live music.

It's a great little facility, so many great programs, smart, fun, welcoming staff, and really accessible. Just right for the size of Sylvan Lake, but is kind of small for all it does. Great outdoor play space, great skate park, and my kids love going to programs, but it could do with more indoor space.

Always something to see!

Perfect for families and friends. Very clean and fun. Lived here for many years and seen it turn into a great place for all of Alberta to go camping, fishing, boating. Also they have a great rental area for seadoos and many other water craft
