Strathcona Science Park Trail Description
The 9km Strathcona Science Park Trail is an interpretive route that travels through the entire park. It is easy to follow and simple to choose your own route via connecting trails and interpretive exhibits. Our route begins by heading into the centre area that is popular with kids and skateboarders.
Our route then departs the centre area, heading south towards the archaeological site. There are some older buildings and interpretive signs along the way here. Head towards the river and up the river banks towards Sunridge Ski Area. Turn around once you reach the end of the ski runs, and take a left at the junction back to the main parking area of the Strathcona Science Park.
