Lacombe County to hold grand opening for new Burns Nature Park

A grand opening is happening soon at the new Burns Nature Park in Lacombe County.

Located on the east side of Sylvan Lake and very west end of Aspelund Road (Township Road 394), Burns Nature Park is a 20-acre sanctuary stewarded by the County.

It was graciously donated by James and Patricia Burns, and features hiking trails, interpretive signage and bench areas, as well as a “breathtaking” view of Sylvan Lake.

“We are so pleased to offer this area to people of all ages and interests so they can enjoy the outdoors in our beautiful county,” says Reeve Barb Shepherd. “We thank the Burns family for their generous contribution to the residents and visitors of the Sylvan Lake area.”
