Heritage Grove Park
Located in the heart of our community, this protected natural wonder provides all-weather trails and connects many of Spruce Grove’s neighbourhoods. Along the trails are a series of outdoor classrooms where you can learn about the history and evolution of the forest.
Protection System
Throughout the park, you will find emergency locator posts. In case of an emergency, dial 911 and tell the operator the number of the nearest post. This helps emergency crews find your exact location, resulting in a quicker response.
Use SeeClickFix to report concerns about maintenance, repairs and or vandalism. Dial 911 for emergencies.
Trail and park maintenance
Regular maintenance on the trails and forest is completed to support the ongoing health and appearance of the park, reduce hazards and increase safety. This involves the removal and clean up of deadfall, dead standing trees and invasive species, while improving the aesthetic of the area.
Nature in the park
Heritage Grove Park is home to a variety of trees, such as the tamarack, white spruce, black spruce, birch, dog wood, balsam poplars, and the trembling aspen! Over time, other trees that are invasive to the area have become prominent, and although some of them may be aesthetically appealing, they can obtrude on native trees disrupting the natural landscape. On an annual basis, intrusive trees and shrubs are removed from Heritage Grove Park to maintain the health of the forested area.
Heritage Grove Park is also home to a variety of animals, which can be observed from a safe distance. Some of the animals in the area include owls, a variety of birds such as the pileated woodpecker and chickadee, flying squirrels, and bats.
