Buhler Recreation Park is a world class, 140 acre, privately not-for-profit operated, government and publicly funded, $6.6 million, multi-use recreation facility that provides the community with new softball, baseball and soccer facilities, 4 km of trails, a central canteen facility with public washrooms, an outdoor education classroom and nature interpretive facilities. The recreational pathways meander through the park connecting the various recreational amenities and natural areas and have been designed for both fitness (fitness station are included on some segments) and casual nature walks. The facility will be open year round to accommodate cross-country skiing, skating and tobogganing. The park serves an environmental stewardship role through tall grass prairie, wetland and aspen forest restorations and preserves and protects existing Class B habitat.
