If you're looking for a place to buy outdoor wear - your search stops at MEC.  It really is the best place I've been to for any kind of outdoor activity, be it cylcing, kayaking or even trekking to the south pole (that might be a stretch, but they…More »

Totem is located on the southside and (as usual) in a strip mall on 99th street.  It doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside the shop opens up to a variety of sports equipment and clothing, usually of the seasonal kind.  

The best part…More »

I can't believe this place has only 3 reviews... I guess Canadians can take nature for granted!  Elk island national park has it all.  Short trails on a day trip, picnic spots, a golf course (!?!), beautiful, beautiful field bisons on the north side…More »

Although I'm not really into cycling and spending thousand bucks on a bike, I love this store!  Have been here on two occasions and the more recent one was just to find out details about how to identify my bike size and how to choose a bike.

Snow valley is a neat ski area located a stone's throw away from the south campus of U of A.  Not big, by any stretch of imagination, but perfect for the learning skier or snowboarder.  It's of course a very standard and flat slope, without much…More »

The Gold Bar Park is a nice park to go cross-country skiing.  I have only been here in winter and that too, for cross-country.  It's located on the east side close to a river bend.  Unfortunately, it's quite close to a sewage facility, which really…More »

I've been to this Sport Chek a few times since it's conveniently located in the South Park Center near Whitemud.  In general, I have no complaints with Sport Chek.  The service has been disappointing on quite a few occasions, especially on busy days.…More »

Fitness town is a great find in the Strathcona neighborhood, for fitness equipment.  They mostly sell massage balls, dumbbells, exercise machines, treadmills etc.  Of course, it's not the kind of store you'd come to often, but I really like that the…More »

As someone who works on campus, Emily Murphy Park is our go to park for office barbecues and other such parties.  They have two or maybe three barbecue pits that can be rented but with the rental you get 8-10 picnic tables/benches.  So that's good.
