Parks & Sportsfields is a section within the Core Services Department that also includes Engineering, Planning & Development, Public Works, and Utilities.

In its early days, Olds was known locally as "Hay City" due to the abundant hay crops harvested annually. We have paid tribute to our early heritage by naming our trail system the "Hay City Trails". The trail system consists of both paved and unpaved trails, and trail routes incorporated in our town streets.

Olds Skatepark

The Olds Skateboard Park is located behind the Olds Sportsplex, just east of the Cow Palace at 5133 - 52 Ave. It is integrated into the existing pathway system in Centennial Park, incorporating rails, gaps, hips, ledges, stairs, banks, a ride-through min-ramp section, coloured handrails, and 'pump bumps' to keep it fast.

Olds Splash Park

The Olds Splash Park is also integrated into the existing pathway system in Centennial Park. The Olds Splash Park cement pad is a recreational wheel-free zone. (examples: skate boards, bikes, heelies, wagons, strollers). Persons with mobility issues who require wheelchairs, walkers or scooters are exempt from the wheel-free rules and encouraged to use the facility. (Entrance pictured below). The Olds Splash Park is an inclusive play area and everyone is welcome to enjoy the facility.
