It started out as turf control, but ended up as a major tourism attraction. If ewe haven't already heard, the City of Fort Saskatchewan uses a flock of sheep (Finnsheep to be exact) to keep the grass trim in City parks. This eco-friendly way of looking after parkland has garnered regional, national, and international acclaim since its inception in 1992. The sheep are an irresistible delight to Fort Saskatchewan residents and visitors alike. It's quite the sight to see a shepherd or shepherdess in the city, herding the flock of about 50 warm, friendly, and fuzzy sheep between Fort Saskatchewan's parks. Border collies work to help keep the flock together. You're welcome to come up close and meet the living lawnmowers. The quiet sheep love attention and you can expect the whole flock to surround you! The friendly sheep symbolize the perfect mascot for Fort Saskatchewan - a community known for its friendliness, warmth and hospitality. Open from First Saturday in June to the holiday Monday in September.

We had a wonderful time in the park with the sheep, dogs, and shepherds. The sheep come right up and you can feed them, they even get a little nosey if you have a plastic bag because they know there might be food in it! My family drove out from St. Albert and spent the afternoon enjoying the scenery, having lunch, and a walk through "The Fort". Put this on your summer to do list! It's a gem of an experience :) (and free!)
