Splish Splash Summer

Time to Take a Dip 

When summer’s sweet temperatures start to rise, you’ll undoubtedly be looking for refreshing ways to cool down. Pack up your suits, goggles, towels, and some snacks, and head to the Lloydminster Outdoor Pool. This gem is nestled in the heart of a historic neighbourhood that’s as pretty as it is pristine. Kids (and kids at heart) love Lloydminster Outdoor Pool. This busy outdoor space features a twisty slide, toys and tubes, a shallow end for beginners, and deep end for more experienced swimmers. Adjacent to the Lloydminster Outdoor Pool is a tiny tot wading pool, perfect for the tiniest water enthusiasts, and a  place where adults can watch from a safe distance as their little ones begin to interact with the fun world of water. Of course, you’ll be famished after a fun filled day, so be sure to stop for an ice cream at The Scoop — a local favourite that offers a variety of cool treats plus coffee and french fries. 

If pools aren’t your style, but you’re still seeking relief from the heat, we suggest a visit to the spray park. Located in Bud Miller All Seasons Park, this space is typically open from June to early September and is an absolute hot spot. Kids of all ages enjoy the water features including fountains and sprayers and spend hours bouncing around burning off their energy. Situated near the PSM Lawyers Park Centre, the spray park is busy from sun up to sun down and offers a free, inclusive, and accessible way for families to cool down in the hot summer months.
