Lethbridge residents can slide into summer thanks to an upgrade at Legacy Park. A new stainless-steel slide is being installed at the Discovery Playground.

Lethbridge’s River Valley is home to a wide array of animals. Residents are never surprised to see deer, turtles or snakes. But there’s another type of serpent hiding in plain sight.

To prevent the spread of Dutch Elm Disease (DED) a province-wide pruning ban for all species of elm trees is in effect from April 1 to September 30, 2024. Pruning elm trees during this time exposes wounds that could provide entry sites for Elm Bark Beetles, a carrier of the DED fungus.

Efficiently watering trees ensures the urban forest will continue to thrive. This is especially important during periods of drought.

Beginning tomorrow, November 28, the Park ‘n’ Bark will once again be closed to the public to allow for the completion of the lighting project.

The work is expected to be completed by end of day Thursday, November 30, weather permitting.

Beginning Monday, November 20, the Park ‘n’ Bark will be closed to the public for the installation of light poles and bases.

The light fixtures will be installed at a later date which will complete the project of lighting the park.

The new Inclusive and Accessible Play Space at Galt Gardens is now open.

Catering to the ever-increasing popularity of the sport, the City of Lethbridge is excited to officially open six more pickleball courts.
