Beach & Water Activities
Sunshine, sand, and sparkling water! Sylvan Lake’s beach is the heart of the action. Try paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, or renting a boat for a day on the water. From relaxing lake days to active adventures, Sylvan Lake makes every beach moment count!
Lakefront Parks
Sylvan Lake’s lakefront is home to two spacious, groomed green
spaces—Centennial Park and Lakefront Park—perfect for a game of
catch, a laid-back soccer match, or a sunny afternoon picnic.
Families will appreciate the convenience of two large public
washroom facilities along the beach, as well as picnic tables and
bookable shelters available in Centennial Park. Whether you're
planning a full day or just a quick stop, you
’ll find plenty of places
to pause and take in the view, with Adirondack chairs and benches
thoughtfully placed along the sidewalk and throughout the parks.

Sand, Splash & Swimming
Looking for the perfect sandy spot? Head to Lakeshore Drive and 50
Street—a favourite for families with young kids thanks to its calm,
shallow water, ideal for wading and splashing. Stroll west along
Lakeshore Drive toward 44 Street to discover even more beach space!

Beach Accessibilty
