BOW ISLAND RECREATION

Bow Island is packed with things to do, all you have to do is look for them. From hunting upland game (ducks, geese, pheasant) with local guides or fishing for walleye in the Forty Mile Reservoir.

For those looking for family activities, look for the seasonal Bow Island Swimming Pool with AquaClimb Wall, Open Skate and Shinny at our arena, walk out on the greens of the Bow Island Golf Club for nine holes, or park your RV at Centennial Park Campground. Enjoy the day playing in the new Kale Porteous Memorial Splash Park right at Centennial Park!
Our Community offers both seasonal and year-round use facilities and recreation services. 
Please see below for a list of these recreation amenities.
