Fresh Coast Rentals • February 11, 2026

February in Grande Prairie might bring a chill to the air, but it also offers the perfect opportunity to settle into a warm and welcoming community. For those relocating for work or starting a new chapter with their family, this month is brimming with opportunities to connect, explore, and find your footing. At Fresh Coast Rentals, we believe that a smooth transition begins with a comfortable home, and we're here to show you how embracing the season can make your move to Grande Prairie a truly positive experience.


Embrace the Season: Winter Fun for Everyone

Grande Prairie doesn't hibernate when the snow falls. Instead, the city comes alive with activities that make the most of the winter landscape. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or prefer to stay cozy indoors, there's something for everyone.


Outdoor Adventures Await

For those who love the crisp winter air, the region offers stunning scenery and exciting activities. You can glide along the beautiful skating trails at Muskoseepi Park or experience the thrill of skiing and tubing at Nitehawk Year-Round Adventure Park. These local gems provide fantastic opportunities for crews to unwind after a long week or for families to create lasting memories together.


Indoor Comforts and Recreation

If you'd rather escape the cold, Grande Prairie boasts world-class indoor facilities. The Eastlink Centre is a hub of activity, featuring a massive aquatic center, a fitness center, and an indoor track. It's the perfect place to stay active, entertain the kids, or simply relax and recharge, no matter the weather outside.


A Community That Cares: Celebrate Family Day in Grande Prairie

One of the highlights of February is the city's celebration of Family Day. This year, on Sunday, February 15, 2026, the City of Grande Prairie is hosting a variety of free activities from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. It's a wonderful demonstration of the city's family-friendly spirit and a great chance for newcomers to connect with the community.


Enjoy free access to the Eastlink Centre for swimming and fun, or head to the Design Works Centre for free drop-in skating. With everything from inflatable obstacle courses to a quiet craft corner, it’s an event that truly offers something for every member of the family. This focus on community and family is a cornerstone of what makes Grande Prairie a great place to call home.
