Popularly known as the riding season, this unique memorial park pays tribute to the fallen riders’ memory. Located within the premises is the Wayside chapel, which has two outhouses, a deck, a BBQ section, and a monument dedicated to the lost. The chapel is also filled with various pieces of art, carvings and memorial benches for visitors to view.
The park also hosts a few events annually, one of the most prominent ones being the Run to the Hills Memorial Rally. The rally, held in July, welcomes riders from all over the area to Geleta Park, Two Hills. Make sure to visit the park for its unique experience.
The main attraction at this quaint park is the two life-like statues donated to the town by the local Dowhaniuk family in 1992. The breathtaking pieces of art, carved by John Weaver, were meant to serve as a tribute to the grandparents and parents of the Dowhaniuk family.
However, there is also an underlying meaning to them. They pay tribute to all pioneers of the Two Hills area. It is a great spot to relax, enjoy the small town atmosphere and take a peek into its rich history.
This motocross track features multiple sport quad and small wheel tracks for adults and children. The tracks for adults and children are separate, and 4×4 quads are also welcome to use the tracks. There are also camping grounds where visitors can bring their tents and RVs. Pets are also allowed on the grounds but must be leashed. The track is open from Friday to Sunday every week, which makes it perfect for a weekend trip!
A spot where the entire town unites for a game, to mingle or even to spend a relaxing day with the children, the Two Hills Centennial Arena is an integral part of this town. It is also an important part of the town’s history as the two-storey building was built in 1967.
The arena includes an ice rink, viewing platform, announcer’s booth, concession booth and other amenities like washrooms and dressing rooms. The arena is mainly used for hockey games, hockey practice, a few seasonal events and public skating in winter. The events held at the Arena occur during the summer months and include the AgriDay trade show, country fair, Motorcycle trade show and the Run to the Hills Rally.
Located in the Southern part of town, this pond is an excellent spot for recreational fishing. The pond is only open during the day and can only be accessed by foot. As no fish are living in the pond naturally, the Alberta Conservation Association stocks the Two Hills pond with trout. The restocking takes place annually, usually before the Victoria Day weekend in May. Ideally, the best time to go fishing is around when it is restocked.

One of Alberta’s most loved golf courses, the Two Hills Lions Golf and Country Club is a 9-hole course with many amenities. With strategically placed ponds and winding fairways, this course is also a wonder to look at. Additionally, there is a clubhouse, tournament tent, pro shop, bbq area and camping area within the grounds. Visitors can bring in their trailers or rent camping equipment from the club to spend the night! The club is open from April to October, but these times can change depending on the weather. This Links style course is a must to see for anyone visiting Two Hills.
