Government House Park sits on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River, offering a peaceful escape within Edmonton’s river valley. Known for its wide paved paths and river views, the park is a popular with cyclists and walkers and its trails connect to the city's extensive trail system. While it once hosted a ski hill in the 1960s, today the landscape is better known for its open picnic areas, river views, and winter toboggan hill.
