The City of Beaumont is naming June 2026 Recreation and Parks Month, pushing residents to check out everything from drop-in basketball to quiet trail walks as summer gets underway. The push lines up with a province-wide effort by the Alberta Recreation & Parks Association, which this year runs under the theme #Recreation&ParksMatter and challenges Albertans to log 75 hours of recreation in June.
A June Recreation Calendar lays out local options: trail walks and hikes, drop-in gym times, open sports, fitness and wellness classes, and access to playgrounds and parks. Most activities happen at the Beaumont Sport & Recreation Centre at 5001 Rue Eaglemont. The centre houses an NHL-sized arena, a hard-court gymnasium, a turf field house, an aquatics centre with pools and slides, a two-lane track, The Arch Climbing Centre, and a fitness centre. It is open Monday to Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
For people who prefer being outside, Beaumont offers 84.5 hectares of park land and more than 33 kilometres of asphalt trails that connect neighbourhoods across the city. Parks stay open year-round from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., and adults can drink alcohol in set areas at Four Seasons Park and Gerry Patsula RV Park between June 1 and September 30.
Residents can also look up spring and summer programs in the city’s seasonal Activity Guides, which cover fitness, sports, aquatics and art for all ages. The spring guide runs through June 30, and the summer guide takes over July 1.
The month-long celebration is part of a wider Alberta push to show how recreation builds healthier, more connected communities. By tying into that effort, Beaumont aims to make it easier for families and individuals to find something that fits their schedule without committing to a long-term program.
