The City of Grande Prairie is proud to announce the outdoor pool is officially opening Saturday, August 24 at noon.

A hallmark in the community, located in Muskoseepi Park, the outdoor pool was first opened in 1962. After a closure in 2013, the pool has now undergone a renovation and is re-opened to the public.

From public swims to swimming lessons and private rental opportunities, the City looks forward to seeing it return as an essential summer hangout for residents and visitors of all ages.

The outdoor pool is now in its final stages of the commissioning process before opening to the public later this summer.  With a number of health, safety and training preparations still ongoing, The City of Grande Prairie is taking this opportunity to update the community on the work that must be completed before the outdoor pool can open to the public.

Muskoseepi Park is opening up the opportunity for food truck vendors to provide a lunch and dinner service at the park during the summer months.

The opportunity is available during the week and weekends for the months of July and August, with potential for extension into September.

The lunch shift is scheduled for 11:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. and the dinner shift is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.- 9:00 p.m. Flexibility is available for both.

The Easter Bunny is hiding Easter eggs across Muskoseepi Park and children ages 2-10 are invited to hop down to the park on Saturday, April 20 to hunt for them at the Easter Eggstravaganza!

The Easter Eggstravaganza takes place from noon to 4:00 p.m. and includes an Easter egg hunt, face painting, cookie decorating, games, prizes and more. Admission is $5 per child.

Starting on Monday April 1, the wooden stairs that lead into Muskoseepi Park at the end of 103 Avenue by St. Joseph’s Catholic Church will be temporarily closed until Saturday, April 6.

The closure is taking place so work can be done on a sewer line in the area. The site will be fenced off to the public.

Trail users are asked to use alternative entrances into the park and to obey all construction signage.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s cooperation.

Construction on the Muskoseepi Skatepark expansion is scheduled to start on June 18.

Skateboarding, freestyle BMX bike riding, in-line skating and parkour have become extremely popular in the community. The expansion will attract skateboarders from across Grande Prairie and surrounding area and will create an aesthetically pleasing environment that appeals to non-skateboarders.

From July 3 to September 30, the Muskoseepi Park Senior Children's Playground is closing to allow for installation of the new playground structure and rubber fall tile surfacing.

The scope of work is as follows:

The spray parks at Muskoseepi Park and Lions Park are scheduled to close for the season after Labour Day.

Each park will remain fully open over the long weekend and available for residents to enjoy.

Crews will be on-site to start closing the spray park features of each park and preparing them for the upcoming winter on Tuesday, September 4.
