• There is NO PARKING PERMITTED at Anniversary Park or in front of residents’ driveways. 
• There are ONLY 58 PARKING SPOTS FOR BEACH GOERS AT THE REC CENTRE parking lot. The CRCA announced that they will be charging $10 per vehicle to park in their lot. Read more about that decision here.
• Once the Rec Centre parking lot is full, you must find somewhere else to park. Recommended spots include the west side of West Chestermere Drive (without blocking other roadways), and the John Peake Park parking lot. If there is no room in these places, consider visiting the beach on another day. 
• If you are parking on a street, you cannot park on the grass and you cannot park within 1.5m of a driveway. 

Beach Capacity

• As per provincial easing of COVID-19 measures on July 1, 2021, there will be no capacity limits at the beach. 
• If someone is uncomfortable with the crowds, especially if you have not had your 2^nd vaccination, you may want to consider visiting the beach on another day. 
• Fencing may still be up due to contractor availability to remove it.
• As there will be no capacity limits, staff will not be monitoring the beach. However, RCMP and CPOs will be doing regular patrols in the area throughout the weekend. 
• Washrooms and showers are cleaned and sanitized regularly.

Beach Rules

If you’re planning to visit the park or the beach, here’s a few things you need to know:

• Parks are generally unsupervised and use may involve risk of injury. The City of Chestermere is not responsible for loss or injury to park users or damaged property.
• There is no lifeguard on duty. Enter the water at your own risk.
• Pets must be on leash and stay on the grass. Take responsibility for picking up after your pet and for their behaviour.
• Shade shelters under 10x10 feet are permitted on the grass, and shade options that do not need to be staked down are permitted on the sand area.  
• Do not dig below six inches in the sand. A filtration liner is installed under the beach. Digging or placing items such as umbrellas in the sand can puncture the liner.
• Littering is prohibited.
• Smoking and alcohol are not permitted.
• BBQs are not permissible in the beach area.
• If you are sick, you must stay home. People who have travelled internationally in the last 14 days, or are a close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the past 14 days, are not permitted.  

If you have concerns about poor behaviour at the beach, call the non-emergency RCMP line at 403-204-8900.
