The Rotary Athletic Park of Olds is located in northwest Olds and is one of the largest recreation spaces in the region. This is a multi-use regional facility with athletic fields developed for soccer, baseball diamonds, horseshoe pits, and washroom facilities. The recreation site is well integrated with the surrounding community through a series of on street and off-street pathways that provide direct connections to the site. Use is by scheduled bookings only.
This type of facility meets community needs leading into the next quarter century, support activity, encourage an active healthy lifestyle, and be a part of the development growth of the community. The concept plans were developed through community consultations.

Inclusive Playground
The Inclusive Playground at Rotary Athletic Park is located north of the concession and washroom building.
The park is designed to welcome children of all abilities and includes a range of interactive elements that support social inclusion and sensory play.
The playground includes a poured-in-place rubber surface and transfer equipment for mobility access so everyone can participate.
The Accessible Swing and Hoopla Swing offer Level 1–3 challenges and allow children of all abilities to play together in the same space. Surrounding the swing area are ground-level tactile panels and outdoor musical instruments for added sensory play.
The Unity Teeter Tunnel is a cooperative play element where children using mobility devices can transfer onto the center platform and join in safely.
The Unity Canopy is an overhead climber with Level 3 challenges, featuring cleated poles to help children who may not have the upper body strength to cross it fully.
The Small Play Structure is a gentler climbing and sliding option, ideal for younger children or those easing into more physical play.
The playground is one we can all be proud of, and in time Rotary Athletic Park will become known as the sports field with the coolest playground!
