The city of Edmonton has some of the most beautiful parks in North America and most of them are connected by cyclist and walking paths. One of the nicest urban parks in Edmonton South is William Hawrelak Park. In the summer months, this park is a popular picnic spot where Edmontonians can hike along the lakeshore, feed the ducks or rent paddleboats for the afternoon. Two of the city's popular festivals are held in the Heritage Amphitheatre as well: the Freewill Shakespeare Festival and the Edmonton Heritage Festival. In the winter, the lake becomes a huge outdoor skating rink while the rest of the park is used for cross-country skiing.
Equipped with a water playground, skatepark and sports fields, Mill Woods Park is another popular outdoor space in Edmonton South. The park is home to the annual Canada Day celebration in July that draws over 100,000 people. In the winter months, Mill Woods Park is a popular destination for cross-country skiers and tobogganers.
