Greetings! Sharing my News Update…
Pathway Opening EVENT on September 17: The North West Foothills Recreation Board (NWFRB) invites you to join us on Saturday, September 17, 2022, from 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm to test out our new pathway at Seaman Sports Park! Stop by after the Millarville Market. Meet the Board, go for a walk and enjoy a refreshment with us.
Pathway Location: Our pathway is situated on 30 acres in the Seaman Sports Park, which is located directly south of Highway 549, approximately 0.8 km east of the intersection of Highway 549 and Highway 22 (Street address: 192133 Hwy 549 W). Parking is available at the site.
Park photos can be viewed on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/NWFoothillsRec

Project Update: NWFRB is pleased to announce that our pathway project is open for use! Since 2010, our recreation board, volunteers, donors and partners have planned and built Phase 1 Outdoor projects in the Seaman Sports Park, including two regulation ball diamonds, access roads and a parking lot. As we continue to develop Phase 2 Outdoor facilities, our latest endeavor features this 1.2 km long, 2 m wide, leveled, shale- surface pathway in a beautiful mountain- view setting. Enjoy the pathway for walking, running, biking, snow-shoeing and cross- country skiing! No horses or motorized vehicles are permitted on the pathways or park grounds. Dress for the weather. Please keep pets on a leash and under control at all times, and please clean up after yourself and any pets.
Next Steps Together: We hope the community enjoys this facility while working together towards the next phase of the Seaman Sports Park! We invite you to become involved and join us as we begin planning and fundraising for a picnic area, a specialized accessible playground area, a multi-sport field and other upgrades. Please see our draft site plan, printed here, which shows our pathway and the proposed future project locations on the site.
Let’s Make It Happen: Your involvement is welcome! Help us plan these projects to build out our park. Help us with your tax-deductible donation (receipts available for amounts over $100). Your support is our future!
