Kin Coulee Park is a community favourite. The hill is lit up into the evening and is always perfect on a snow day. Elkwater in the Cypress Hills builds a snow luge each year.
Skating
Find many community rinks around Medicine Hat — check out Kiwanis Central Park for a small skating rink amongst 200 to 300-year-old Cottonwood trees. Find the full list of ice skating rinks here.
Crokicurl
All the things you need to play crokicurl are in Strathcona Island Park, so look up the rules and head out for a round or two. Winter fun, here you come.
Disc Golf
If you haven’t played disc golf in the winter, you really need to, and if you haven't played disc golf at all, then you really, really need to. Find two great courses in Medicine Hat, in Kiwanis Central Park, Leinweber Park, and Gilwell Park.
