Grande Prairie is a thriving hub in northwestern Alberta, built on a diverse economy that includes energy, agriculture, forestry, tourism, and rapidly expanding tech and service sectors. With a young, entrepreneurial population of about 70,000, it’s a dynamic place to live, work, and visit.
As the gateway to the Peace Country and the North, Grande Prairie is well connected by highways, rail, and a regional airport. Its location provides quick access to the Rocky Mountains, rivers, lakes, and the vast boreal forest—perfect for outdoor adventures like hiking, fishing, camping, and hunting.
Scenic trails run through the city and beyond, including Evergreen Ridge at Evergreen Park. Grande Prairie is also a cultural and sporting centre. Residents and visitors enjoy art galleries, live theatre,
music festivals and championship golf courses.
The community has consistently proven itself on the national stage, hosting events such as the Canada Winter Games, the Women’s World Curling Championships, and numerous national tournaments. These successes are powered by a strong volunteer spirit and supported by top-quality facilities, including arenas, pools, soccer pitches, and track complexes.
With more than 3,000 hotel rooms, year-round campgrounds, and a wide range of dining options, the Grande Prairie area combines the amenities of a big city with the warmth and frontier spirit of a small town. Evergreen Park is located in the County of Grande Prairie No. 1. The County spreads west of the City of Grande Prairie stretching to the British Columbia border, east to the Smoky River, north to the Saddle Hills, and south to the Wapiti River.
