Strathcona Science Provincial Park, located along the North Saskatchewan River between Edmonton and Sherwood Park, preserves river valley forest and native grassland once used as an archaeological and research site.
The park features paved and dirt trails that loop through wooded areas and open viewpoints overlooking the river, making it ideal for short hikes and wildlife spotting.
Though the science centre is closed, the park remains a peaceful escape with rich natural and cultural history close to the city.
