Lacombe County is excited to invite the public to an upcoming open house on Tuesday, July 15, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Lacombe County Administration Building (40403 Range Road 274, RR #3).
The Abma family donated the property - a gravel pit located near the intersection of Township Road 410 and Range Road 275 - to Lacombe County in 2012. One of the Abma’s conditions of the donation
agreement was that the land would be used for recreational purposes for the benefit of the general public once gravel extraction activities were completed.
With aggregate extraction nearing completion, Lacombe County has hired a professional planning and design consultant to create a vision for reclaiming the site and transforming it into a new public recreational area for the community and we want YOUR input.
This open house is a chance for residents and stakeholders to:
- Meet with the County’s consultant and staff
- Explore early design concepts
- Share your ideas for the site’s future
- Provide input on potential amenities and features

Unable to attend in person?
The Lacombe County website will host an online survey from July 15 to August 7. This survey mirrors the in-person content and offers an opportunity to share your feedback and vision for the reclaimed site. You can find it, along with background information and the concepts, on this page in the coming weeks.
We look forward to your input on this exciting project and appreciate your involvement in shaping the future of Lacombe County!
