GAS CITY CONSTRUCTION

Gas City Campground, known as GCC, will undergo major construction on its water services and to install irrigation system enhancements.

A part of the campground will be closed during this upgrade, but the majority of the site will remain accessible and fully operational, the city said in a news release.

Gas City Campground is located off the Trans-Canada Highway and adjacent to WestVue Dog Park and features 98 sites, including two comfort cabins.

The campground also connects to the city’s expansive Heritage Trail Network, which spans over 155 kilometers.

Echo Dale Campground is nestled along the South Saskatchewan River valley and offers 10 individual campsites.

The area features a swimming area, volleyball courts, a historic farm with animals and eight kilometers of mountain biking trails.
