Ralph Klein Park - Wetland & Environmental Education Centre

The Environmental Education Centre is a thoughtfully designed space dedicated to learning, sustainability, and community connection. This LEED Platinum–certified facility features an indoor classroom, resource library, art studio, interpretive signage, meeting spaces, and environmentally friendly composting and low-flush toilets. The Centre is available for special events, with the option to book the entire facility or individual rooms to suit a variety of needs. Surrounding the building, a man-made wetland plays an important role in improving stormwater quality before it enters the Bow River system. Visitors can enjoy the landscaped grounds, which include a picnic area and a community orchard showcasing five varieties of pear trees and eight varieties of apple trees. Blending education, environmental stewardship, and outdoor enjoyment, the park offers a welcoming space to learn, gather, and connect with nature.
