Henderson Lake Park, 3 km (2 miles) east of downtown Lethbridge, is filled with lush trees, a golf course, a baseball stadium, a swimming pool, an artificial lake, a year-round ice-skating rink, and tennis courts.

Reclaimed from an old mining area, Quarry Lake is a popular local recreation area. There's a beach area where the water is shallow with a sandy bottom and the swimming and wading are best on hot days in July and August. The lake is fed by an underground spring and is over 100 meters (328 feet) deep in some places. There's also a grassy area with picnic tables and toilets and about 5 km (3 miles) of trails are nearby. The picnic area is adjacent to an off-leash dog park.

A couple of blocks to the north of Kensington's major concentration of shops, bars, and restaurants is this large green space with big trees, a wading pool, and a playground for the kiddos. Grab a picnic lunch from one of the many great cafés in Kensington, plop down a blanket, and have yourself a picnic. In the evening, you can watch the lads play cricket or listen to live music on the small stage here.
