Trail Etiquette

Over 70 km of paved multi-use trails extend to all areas of St. Albert. Users of all ages enjoy the trails in a variety of ways, including walking, cycling, in-line skating and running. In winter, the trails on both sides of the Sturgeon River from Lions Park to Boudreau Bridge are swept.

Following common sense rules and courtesy, pathway use can be safe and enjoyable for all:

Keep Right

All users must keep right except when passing or turning left. Move off the trail to the right when stopping.

Caution

Follow trail travel, passing and speed guidelines as per cyclists. Be aware of proper skating and braking techniques before going on the trails.

Share Responsibility

Red Willow Park trails provide opportunities for all. Lead by example; help teach each other proper trail etiquette.

Yield

Yield to slower moving traffic: cyclists to pedestrians, joggers to walkers. Move off to the side of the trail for less mobile users.

Leash Your Dog

In designated On Leash areas, all dogs must be kept on a leash and under complete control of their handlers. These areas include all Red Willow Park Trails (including one metre on either side of the improved surface), School Grounds and Tot Lots, and all other spaces marked as On Leash Areas.
