Important Parking
Information for 

Discovery Canyon

Parking at River Bend can be challenging on hot summer days, due to the popularity of Discovery Canyon. When the number of vehicles exceed our parking capacity, it creates 2 significant concerns: unsafe traffic and parking conditions, as well as overcrowding within Discovery Canyon.

Effective Saturday August 8th, parking will no longer be permitted along the entrance road.

Once all designated parking lots have reached capacity, Discovery Canyon will be considered full and no additional visitors will be admitted. 

We understand that many guests travel to visit Discovery Canyon, and we appreciate your understanding that admission is on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you arrive and find that it is at capacity, we encourage you to explore one of the many other excellent aquatic and recreation facilities that Red Deer has to offer. including the Collicutt Centre, G.H Dawe Community Centre. or one of the city's many splash parks.

For the best experience and to avoid the largest crowds, we recommend visiting Monday through Friday.
