Located at
Crescent Road & Royal Road South, Island Park is Portage la Prairie's Gem! Our
amazing “Island in the City” is a scenic park that is second to none! Created by
an oxbow of the Assiniboine River, the horseshoe-shaped setting is home to
several playground areas, picnic sites, and recreational facilities. There are three picnic shelters and one bandstand for public use. While on
the Island you can observe the deer, take a walk along the scenic trails, or enjoy the abundance of Canada
Geese that call Crescent Lake home.
If you are interested in sports, you can enjoy a round of golf at the 18-hole
course.
Don’t forget to try a game of tennis on the 4 newly resurfaced courts! The park
is a fantastic site for walking, jogging, cycling, rollerblading, or trying out
your new scooter! Visit our outdoor leisure waterpark, Splash Island featuring 2 giant waterslides, a kiddie
slide, tot pool, lazy river, and many other exciting amenities -- this is fun for the whole family!
Situated adjacent to the outdoor waterpark is the PCU Centre! The PCU
Centre features two NHL regulation size indoor arenas, one with seating capacity
for 1675, an indoor walking track, 4,000 square foot fitness centre and
Manitoba's largest wave pool! The ideal place for recreation, sport and
gatherings!
The winter creates a wonderland in the park as the duck pond is turned ice rink,
a toboggan slide is created and cross-country ski trails are groomed. There are
2 washroom facilities, 3 picnic facilities and a performing stage that have
power outlets. There is a wheelchair accessible pathway and park admission is
free to the public. It is so beautiful you really must see it to believe it!
