Sylvan Lake is reminding beachgoers that tents are now restricted in certain areas of the waterfront.
Tents are not allowed on the sandy beach north of the asphalt walking trail, stretching from just west of the pier to the east side of Centennial Park. However, small shade tents no larger than one metre by one metre—such as baby shelters—are permitted in that area.
Visitors who want to use larger tents are encouraged to set up south of the pathway, including throughout Centennial Park, where no tent restrictions apply.
“We take pride in being a community renowned for family gatherings,” said Mayor Megan Hanson. “These updates are based on resident feedback to help ensure everyone enjoys our lakefront to the fullest.”
A map of the tent-free zone can be found here.
