Speaking of exercise, did you know Ft.Mac has the largest recreation centre in western Canada? Yes, that’s right, in Fort McMurray. (Hey, oil money can be a good thing you know!) MacDonald Island Park is on an island in downtown Ft.Mac which has a golf course, tennis courts, ball diamonds, hiking trails and now a huge new recreation centre too. Inside are 2 hockey rinks, 8 sheets of curling ice, a running track, 2 multi-purpose gyms, squash and racquetball courts, fitness centre, a public library, lounge, golf simulator, ballroom and daycare…all under one roof. And, opening in the same building this fall is the new aquatic centre, featuring an Olympic size pool, waterslides and a lazy river. A lazy river! I don’t really even know what that is, but it sounds like a little piece of Mexico to me. Anyway, now you have another reason to come visit!
