Abbey Centre - Blackfalds, Alberta

Had a fantastic day with my three kids (ages 10, 9, and 4)! We drove from Edmonton, and it was absolutely worth the trip. The weather was perfect at +30, and the place wasn’t too crowded, which made the experience even better. The kids had an absolute blast and are already asking when we can return. The entry fee for all of us was only $20, which felt like a steal. While the food was a bit overpriced and outside food wasn’t allowed, you can eat outside of the water park at a nice picnic table on the grass. Overall, it was definitely worth the trip! Can't wait for our next visit! Highly recommend!

It's a nice facility. Staff are fine. We've gotten sick though the last 3 times we attended the kids play area (in 2025). Most recently it was pretty bad. Norovirus or something similar. We won't go back. Not sure if they are deep cleaning the kids area as well as they should. Might return to use the gym one day.

The outdoor water park was fantastic. It was unfortunate that the waterslides weren't working for the time we were there, but the staff is great, the indoor and outdoor play areas are good. We'll go again!

Great place for kids and adults to enjoy the summer. Good day trip from the city. Can get quite busy on weekends and holidays best to get here earlier.

The Abbey Centre is a state of the art recreational facility that offers a large gymnasium with ample room for multiple sporting events, a fitness room equipped with plenty of cardio machines and stretching areas. The outdoor aquatic playground is a must if you enjoy water slides or are bringing the family. Outside the building, there is an amphitheater for hosting events and a jungle gym for kids. The war memorial is worthy of respect. Take a moment and reflect on all that we enjoy from the efforts of the fallen soldiers.

Great place to go if your close by. I can all the way from Edmonton area and it was worth the try.... But not again. The disappointing thing is that the slide exits right infront of the deepest end of the pool so obviously youre gonna get splashed. The other was the line to get into the hot tub. I believe children really shouldn't be in a hot tub but that's my opinion. Us old people need it!! Lol my daughter loved the baby area. The lazy river was great expect for the children holding down the sprayers and getting people in the face. Lifeguards shouldn't told them to stop cuz my 9 month old didn't appreciate getting sprayed. Also bring a lock or be prepare to pay $3 to just borrow a lock. Nice thing are the chairs to lounge and can also bring a bag out with you and the large changrooms are a nice change. Overall cute place but definitely not as big as I thought it was going to be.

Beautiful day when we went. The pool opened at 10am Friday and the 2 slides opened about half an hour after that. Quick, easy swim test gave the kids more freedom. Nephew was under 4 ft but is a better swimmer than older kids because of training and he had to go down the slide with someone older/an adult. The facility itself was clean, it wasn’t too busy, there’s a small lazy river and climbing wall, as well as a big dive tank and one diving board. The shallow area and splash park looked great too. Grandma was able to sit on a chair and parents lay on beach chairs. Bring your own lock or rent one out for lockers. Staff helped us with lunch ideas and were kind to all.

It was pretty packed but my kids had FUN!!! The splash pad, kiddie pool, slides and hot tub were all a BLAST.

After spending hours and hours under the sun and in the water we mellowed out at the indoor playroom.

Even with half of Central Alberta at the pool their staff and lifeguards were IMPECCABLE.
