The City of Beaumont’s free Summer in the Park program is back for 2026, giving families with school-age children a place for facilitated outdoor activities throughout the school break. Running weekdays from July 6 to August 21, the drop-in program invites kids ages 6 to 13 to Four Seasons Park for games, sports, crafts, and more. The program is led by the Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre (BSRC) Community Programs Summer Leaders.
Each weekday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., children can join in at the park concession at Four Seasons Park, located at 5417 43 Ave. The 51-acre park features a playground, spray park, picnic areas, and sports fields. Last year, hundreds of kids took part, and organizers expect another busy summer.
Parents and guardians should know that Summer in the Park is a facilitated recreation program, not a licensed childcare service. Adults remain responsible for their children at all times and must be available in the event of an emergency. Children under 6 can only attend if accompanied by someone 14 or older.
The program will be cancelled if temperatures climb above 28°C or if the smoke index reaches 7 or higher. Food and drinks are not provided, so families should pack snacks and water. Weekly schedules and weather updates are shared through the Summer in the Park email newsletter. All program leaders have completed security clearance and first aid training.
Beaumont, a fast-growing community south of Edmonton, has seen its population rise to an estimated 26,305 in 2025. Programs like Summer in the Park offer a free way to keep kids active and connected during the summer months.
