About a 10–12 minute drive from the hotel, at 10 Knowledge Way, sits one of western Canada's most impressive municipal recreation centres — and a guaranteed great day with kids.
What's inside
The Eastlink Centre packs in leisure pools, waterslides, a surfable FlowRider wave, lane swimming, hot tubs, a climbing wall, gymnasiums, an indoor playground and a full fitness centre. Rainy day, −30 day, any day: problem solved.
Planning your visit
Check the City of Grande Prairie's website for public swim and FlowRider schedules, which vary seasonally. Arrive early on weekends — locals love it too. It's an easy drive across town; bring towels and ask our front desk about current schedules.
The perfect combo
Families staying with us often do Eastlink in the afternoon, drive back for dinner near the hotel, then finish with the hotel's own waterslide and hot tub before bed. Add the free hot breakfast and you've got the easiest family weekend in northern Alberta. Rooms with two queens and fridges make it painless — see family stays.
