Parc Réunis
Introduction to Parc Réunis Playground
Three storeys of timber, and a slide people drive out of the city for. The tower at the heart of Beaumont's Élan neighbourhood is an Earthscape build — a Timber Tower 3, the biggest in the collection — and it does not look like a normal playground. Vertical wood cladding, an angled roof, stainless mesh panels you can see through as you climb. It reads more like architecture than equipment, right up until your kid disappears into it.
And it isn't one playground — it's three, strung along the short trail system. The tower anchors the middle. A junior adventure area handles the younger crowd. A fitness zone gives the adults something to do besides watch. All of it sits on poured-in-place rubber, so the whole site rolls smoothly for strollers, wheelchairs and walkers.
This is one of our playgrounds that are always worth the drive from Edmonton - in every season. It’s the original ‘tall slide’ playground that our kids want to go when they’re craving wide open spaces. Plus, they host some really cool family events through the year - like outdoor movies!

Practical Info for Visiting
Designed for ages 18 months to 12 years; the fitness areas are open to all ages
The three play areas are spread along the trail system — plan to walk between them rather than watch from one bench
Pergolas provide some shade, but this is a newer neighbourhood with young trees; bring sun protection
Trails run out to naturalized ponds with seating — an easy add-on to the visit
Four Seasons Park and its splash park are nearby for hot days
It's a drive from Edmonton (Beaumont, southeast) — treat it as a destination, not a quick stop
